Step-by-Step Instructions

In advance, write four objects on a large sheet of paper.
Invite one volunteer to stand in front of the group.
Asking the volunteer not to look, pin the sheet of paper to a wall behind them so that the rest of the group can see the objects written on it.
Challenge your group to help the volunteer correctly guess the names of all four objects in less than 60 seconds.
Explain the following three parameters to govern fair play:
– Only verbal forms of communication can be used, ie no hand gestures or motions;
– The group can not mention the name of the object, nor any part of it; and
– No ‘sounds-like’ or rhyming words can be used.
If one or more of these parameters are broken, issue an appropriate penalty, eg disqualify that round.
Play two or more rounds, with a new set of words and volunteer for each round.
