Divide into 2 teams and have each team get as far away from each other as possible (opposite sides of the room). The leader is in the center of the room and holds two boxes (one for each team) containing 10-20 words or phrases on little slips of paper.
When the game begins, one member from each team runs to the center, takes a slip of paper out of their team’s box, reads it silently, and then gives it to the leader who discards it.
The player then runs back to his/her team, picks up a drawing pad and a marking pen and tries to draw the word or phrase. No letters or words are allowed, only pictures. The team tries to guess the word or phrase by looking at the drawing. The artist may not speak until someone finally guesses correctly.
As soon as the word or phrase is guessed, the next player runs to the leader and draws another slip of paper. Play continues until one team finishes all their words.
The 10-20 words and phrases should be the same for all teams. Also, it might be wise to have an adult referee with each team. In that case, each contestant should bring the slip of paper to his team referee so he knows what the phrase is and can determine when it is guessed.
