Secret Telephone Numbers

Game Card

Look up the phone directory, and then tell your partner the secret phone number you have selected, using code. Do not say the numbers out loud. Instead, say:

E.g. “Code NBM: that, height, height” 

Based on your information (Code NBM), your partner will tell you back what your secret number is, and then identify the organization from the Phone Directory. Partner will say the answer, "9-1-1, Emergency Services."
