Get set up

No equipment is required. Gather the group where everyone can hear the explanation and demonstrate one sample turn before starting. Clear enough movement space for the group and mark boundaries before play.

LET’S PLAY

Here’s how it works.

  1. Split into teams.
  2. Choose one guesser from the active team.
  3. Show the prompt to all other teammates.
  4. On the signal, the team acts silently while the guesser calls answers.
  5. Score a point for a correct guess, then rotate the guesser.

A few ground rules

Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.

Mix it up

Use 60-second rounds, themed prompts or everyone-versus-the-clock play.

Make it a great round

Keep prompts easy enough that several people can act at once without colliding.

Keep everyone comfortable

Clear movement space and ban unsafe lifts, running or physical contact.
