Ever play the Fish Bowl Game? It’s kind of like charades with a twist. This one may be too hard for the little ones, but can easily be done with players 10 and up. Here’s how it’s played:

• Split up into two teams.
• Have every player write down a word (preferably a noun) on a piece of paper. We recommend everyone fill out 3 pieces of paper.
• Put all of the pieces of paper in a bowl—a fish bowl if you have one!

• For the first round, each team member takes a word out of the bowl. They take turns describing what’s on the piece of paper to the rest of their team using any words except any form of the word on the paper. Each team has 1 minute to guess as many words as they can. The team with the most guessed words wins the round.
• For the second round, you put the same pieces of paper back into the bowl. Each team still has 1 minute to guess as many words as possible, but each player can only use ONE WORD to describe what’s on the piece of paper. Again, the team with the most guessed words wins the round.

• For the third round, use the same pieces of paper again. But this time, each team member can only act out the word on the paper. No words or sounds can be used! The most guessed words in 1 minute wins the round.
• For the fourth and final round, you use the same pieces of paper and have the same 1 minute to guess the words, but team members can only use sounds. No words or movements allowed!
• Whichever team wins the most rounds wins! We suggest having a prize ready for the winner.
