The object of the game was to correctly identify words based on videotaped definitions given by primary school-age children.
Once the clip ended, the team in control had a chance to guess the word; a correct response earned 15 points.
If the team was incorrect, the opponents viewed a clip of another child defining the same word; a correct response earned 10 points.
If the opponents were wrong, control passed back to the team that was shown the first clip, who saw one final clip (usually of an older child, and the answer usually not that hard to guess by this point); a correct response earned 5 points.
The team in control was shown three video clips, one after another, of children defining one word that was given to the home audience.
