Draw & act
terrible art, wild guesses
Doodles, charades and guessing out loud. Talent is optional and honestly a bit of a drawback.
Four games
- Draw & act
Charades
best bit: your quietest friend miming “Jaws” with total commitment
Act out a movie, book or song without saying a word while your team shouts guesses before time runs out.
- Draw & act
Fishbowl
best bit: by round 3, one eyebrow wiggle means Dolly Parton
Two teams guess names pulled from a bowl: first by describing, then with one word, then acting them out.
- Draw & act
Pictionary
best bit: guessing “Titanic” from one boat and a very sad stick figure
One teammate draws a secret word, no letters allowed, while the rest of the team races to guess it.
- Draw & act
Telephone Pictionary
best bit: watching “a cat running for mayor” turn into “tax fraud”
Write a phrase and pass it left. The next person draws it, the next guesses the drawing, and on it goes.
