HOW TO PLAY
1

Dim the lights in the room and set up the flashlight to shine toward the blank wall.

2

Players take turns using their hands to form shapes and figures in the beam, casting shadows on the wall.

3

Other players call out guesses for what animal or object the shadow represents.

4

The player whose shape stumps the group the longest, or who creates the most creative shadow, wins that round.

5

Play continues with players rotating through creating shadows until everyone has had a few turns.
