How to play: First set up the game by sitting all of your players in a circle indoors. This game might be hard to play around a table because each player needs to keep their paper secret from their neighbors, so playing in a living room on couches and chairs works great. Then hand out paper and writing utensils to all the players. Have everyone write his or her name in small print at the bottom right of the page.Įveryone starts by writing a sentence at the top of his or her paper. Ted can’t find the right shoes to wear to prom.If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops, oh what a world it would be!.The dog chased the carefree butterflies to the end of the rainbow.The kids all danced around the large oak tree.It can be something random, true, abstract, from a song lyric, or about someone in the room.
Once everyone has a sentence at the top of his or her paper, everyone passes their paper to the player to their right. So, for example, if Mary were given the sentence “The kids all danced around the large oak tree,” she might draw something like this: Then everyone illustrates the sentence give to them with a small picture right underneath the sentence. Once everyone has finished drawing their sentences, everyone folds the top part of the paper over so it covers the first sentence, but not the picture.
Then again, everyone passes their papers to the right. Now everyone receives a paper with just a drawing visible, and everyone writes the sentence that presumably could have led to that picture (usually with some humor thrown in). For example, Bob, given the above picture, might write this sentence underneath: “Once there was a family of tree huggers.” Then everyone folds over their paper so only the last sentence is visible and passes the paper to the right.Īnd that’s basically how the game works.
