A game show about words
Premiering 8.30pm, Wednesday 2 May on ABC1
Randling – created for ABC1 by Andrew Denton and Jon Casimir, the creators of The Gruen Transfer – is a game show about words. The game show pits ten teams, with two players a side, against each other over twenty-seven rounds of fiery and fierce word play. Each team is vying for a place in the 2012 Randling Grand Final and the chance to take home the Randling premiership trophy. Designed to enlighten, educate and amuse viewers, Randling is the only game show that comes with a guarantee that every episode will leave you at least 1% smarter and 100% happier.
How to make an English lesson funner-er
One of the stated aims of The Australian Curriculum: English is to ensure that students appreciate, enjoy and use the English language in all its variations and develop a sense of its richness and power to evoke feelings, convey information, form ideas, facilitate interaction with others, entertain, persuade and argue. Given this aim, a game show about words that encourages players and viewers: to discover new and archaic words; to invent words and definitions; and to realise how entertaining word play can be, makes Randling a recommended resource for use in secondary English classes.
