How to Play

**Setup:** Write words/phrases on slips of paper (movies, books, actions, etc.).

**Gameplay:**

  1. One player draws a slip and acts it out silently
  2. No speaking, mouthing words, or pointing at objects
  3. Other player guesses

**Standard Signals:**

  • Fingers up = number of words
  • Hold up fingers then tap arm = which word
  • Tug ear = "sounds like"
  • Big to small hands = "shorter version"

**Scoring:** Time each guess. Lowest total time wins.
