"Sculptionary"

This is a really fun game that can be played with nearly any age. The younger kids may need a little help. However, don't be surprised if they are better than you are!

For:
-At least four people (five is the preferred minimum number)
-The more the merrier!

What you will need:
-A ball of playdough for each team of two to have a piece, pen, and paper

How to Play:
Have the group sit in two lines facing each other. The person across from you is your partner. If there is an odd number of people, the extra person is the judge. If not, then the end team can switch being the judge.

The judge writes down a word and passes it down one side of the line. This side of the line will be the sculptor. When the judge says go, the sculptors try to sculpt that word and their partners try to guess what the word is. The team to guess the word first wins.

Switch sides and the other side sculpts a new word from the judge. After both partners have sculpted, have everyone rotate one spot to their left (as though the two lines form a circle). Everyone will have a new partner and there will be a new judge/judges.

Rules:
The sculptors cannot say words, make noises, use actions, or anything else that is not sculpting. They must only use the playdough. The playdough can only act on itself, not on the sculptor. For example if the word is "soda" the sculptor cannot drink from a playdough can themselves. They can make a person and a can and have the playdough person drink from the playdough can.
