Act out a word or phrase using only your body — no talking, no mouthing, no sounds. Your team has to guess before the clock runs out. Guaranteed chaos regardless of acting ability.

How to Play

  1. 1

    Split players into two teams.

  2. 2

    Write words or phrases on slips of paper and put them in a bowl (movies, songs, animals, actions — mix it up). Alternatively, use a phone app.

  3. 3

    One player from Team A draws a slip and has 60 seconds to act it out silently for their team.

  4. 4

    No talking, mouthing words, pointing at objects in the room, or making sounds.

  5. 5

    If the team guesses correctly within the time limit, they earn a point.

  6. 6

    Teams alternate turns. First team to reach an agreed score (e.g. 10 points) wins.
