Instructions are sometimes difficult to give in English because they aren't conversational and only practiced when teaching someone to play a game. But understanding how these games are played already will help you understand the vocabulary within the instructions. Just read the description of these popular games.
Chess
To play chess, you need two players, a chess board and some chess pieces. First, you line up the chess pieces in two rows on opposite sides of the board. The players take turns moving their pieces across the board. Each type of piece has a different movement across the board. For example, a rook moves in horizontal and vertical lines across the board, moving an unlimited number of spaces, while the bishop moves diagonally across the board, also an unlimited number of spaces. When one player's piece has landed on an opponent's piece, the player has captured that piece and removes it from the board. The objective of the game is to trap the opponent's king.
Dodgeball
To play dodgeball, you need two groups of players and any number of balls.Two groups of players stand on opposite sides of a line, facing each other. They throw balls at each other in an attempt to hit one another. If one players throws a ball and hits another player, the hit player is eliminated from the game. If the throwing player fails to hit the other player, then game play will resume normally. However, if the player throws the ball and his opponent catches it, the throwing player is eliminated from the game. They may throw the ball as many times as necessary. The game is finished when a team has been completely eliminated.
Tennis
To play tennis, you need two players, tennis racquets, a tennis ball, a net and a tennis court. The players stand on opposite sides of the net. One player begins by serving the ball and the other player attempts to return the ball. The players hit the ball back and forth over the net until one player fails to return the ball. When a player fails to return the ball, the opposing player receives a point. A successful return means hitting the ball over the net and landing the ball within the borders of the court. The game may also be played with two players on each side of the court and this version is referred to as doubles.
