After each hurdle, placards of different topics like Nouns, Pronouns, Prepositions, were placed in the rings. The first participant crossed the first two hurdles and collected the Adjective placards from the ring and gave it to the next participant. The last participants collected the rest of the placards and hang them on a string. The team that hung the maximum numbers of Adjectives in less time was announced as the winner of the game.
