Hotel Grafenhausen ('Hotel Gravehouse', 'Hotel Casa de Tumbas', 'Hotel Maison de Tombe', 'Hotel Grafhuizen', ...) is a variation to the werewolves/mafia game, but has been specifically designed for use in larger groups. This fascinating game for the language class can be played in all languages, since the playing cards do not contain any written language.

Included in this product:

- 46 beautiful character cards in a box
- rules of play for 3 versions (The PDF will be sent to you by e-mail)
- a moderator's card for the basic version for beginners (in English)

A powerpoint and conversation posters for this game are available separately.

Special features of this game:
• can be played at a higher speed
• offers chances to come back into the game - which keeps all students alert, also those who are out of the game
• provides tons of comprehensible input in the target language

Four reasons why this is a perfect game for the Compelling Comprehensible Input class:

1. When you play this game with your students, you will most probably take the role of the moderator. As the moderator, you can’t help repeating lots of high frequent language: looks at, walks to, goes to sleep, takes, has, wants, wakes up, can see, can hear, etc. You can already play this game at a very basic language level, and build on that basic language every time you play it again, elaborating on the narration and making the language richer and richer each time, always making sure that everything is comprehensible for the students.

2. The game gives ample occasion for comprehensible storytelling and for asking lots of questions. During night phases, you can narrate the backgrounds, appearance, personality traits and activities of the characters that are active at night: “The werewolves walk through the hotel. They are very hairy and they smell bad. Their eyes are light in the dark. Now, they are entering a room. Whose room can it be?”

3. During day phases, you can lead the discussion in the accusation round, questioning each and any remark the students make: “So you think you heard a noise? Did you hear a loud or a quiet noise? Where did you hear the noise? Do you think it was a person or a monster who made the noise?” And “She says you look suspicious because you try not to look at her. What do you say to that?” Etcetera etcetera.

4. The game is highly engaging, due to both the narration– if done well, it creates a special atmosphere– and the accusation round, where students are trying to interpret each others looks and actions or lack of action. Often times, even the students who are not playing anymore stay completely immersed in the game and can hardly keep themselves from taking part in the discussion.

So what are you waiting for? Buy now and start playing!
