HOW TO PLAY
1

Write down words or phrases (movies, actions, objects) on slips of paper and place them in a container.

2

One player from a team draws a slip and acts it out silently, no speaking or pointing at objects.

3

Their team has a set time (often 1-2 minutes) to guess the word from the actions alone.

4

Award a point for each correct guess within the time limit.

5

Teams alternate turns until all slips are used; the team with the most points wins.
