PANTOMIME.

Source: Games for Everybody
Category: GAMES FOR ADULTS





Give each guest a slip of paper, folded, containing words which can be
acted in pantomime. Each one must keep his a secret, as the rest of
the company guess what he is acting out.

The players sit in a circle, and the one acting in pantomime his
words, stands in the middle where all can see him.

Suppose one had "Dog" on his slip, he would pretend to pet him, call
him, and make him perform. Another might have "Blackberries" and make
all the imaginary motions of picking and eating them, and being caught
on the bushes. If one has "Strawberry shortcake," she can go through
the process of making the imaginary cake, and hulling the berries for
it.

As soon as it is guessed what the player's word is, the rest call it
out.




Next: BIRDS FLY.
