ICEBREAKERTelephone Game - Drawing Version


ICEBREAKER• First, make even groups of 6 people each• Second, each person in the group needs to get out

paper and pen/pencil• Third, an e-board member is going to show the

first person in the group a phrase and ask them to draw it and then show the person behind them.

• Remember no talking!


ICEBREAKER• The person behind them will look at the phase and

try to copy it on their own paper and then show the person behind them until the end of the line.

• The person at the end of the line looks at the phrase and then without any help, has to tell what the phrase is to an e-board member!

• If the group doesn’t get it then the group has to start all over from the start of the line.


TIE BREAKER• If two groups both finish at the same time and

both groups have the phrase drawn right and could tell you what it is then give each group one more phrase to draw and then have them play the game again.

Hello or Chào :)The traditional way to greet adults would be to cross our arms and bow our headsWe would say hello followed by an honori#c (Example: ông, bà, chú, bác)


Bye or Chào

Bye or Chào• Hi and Bye in Vietnamese is both Chào.• when greeting someone, say “xin chao” (seen

chow) + given name + title.


Dining Etiquette

Dining Etiquette• The host may serve guests, but will usually just invite

everyone to begin helping themselves.• Food is placed on dishes in the center of the table from

which each person helps him/herself.• Vietnamese style of dining is chopsticks and rice bowls.• Hold your rice bowl in your hand; it is considered lazy to eat

from a rice bowl that is on the table.


Gift Giving :D• Flowers are normally given only by men to

women.• Always wrap a gift in colorful paper.• When visiting a Vietnamese home, bring a gift

for the hostess. • A gift for children or an elderly parent is also

appreciated.• Give items useful for daily activity.• Do not give handkerchiefs, anything black,

yellow flowers or chrysanthemums.


Business Etiquette Relationships are critical to successful business partnerships. Always invest time in building a good relationship based on both personal and business lines. Any initial meeting should be solely used as a "getting to know you" meeting.o The spoken word is very important. Never make promises that you can not keep to as this will lead to a loss of face.o Business gift giving is fairly common at the end of a meeting or during a meal.
