In the game “Outburst” the aim is to find the 5 words listed below when the clue/keyword is called out. 2 groups play against each other. One group chooses a cards and calls the word out then the other group has 30 seconds to name as many words as possible in 30 seconds (60 seconds) relating to the subject in the hope that they find the 5 words on the card.

One point is awarded for each correct word. This game was sent in by Stephanie and was played with a catholic group of ministrants. In the translation from German into English some of the catchwords might not be know in other countries. You can simply choose words or names which are used in your own country.
