THE JIBERISH GAME

Objective:

Silly scenes are mimed from person to person and they have no idea what they are acting out.

Game type:

Active. A lot of movement may be required.

Players:

6 or more players

Needed:

None

Four people are chosen for the round and three of the four are taken out of the room. The one that remains is told to mime something such as the statue of liberty or barney the dinosaur. Before they start, a second person is brought into the room and told to watch. When the first demonstration is done, the first person is allowed to sit down and the third person is brought into the room. The second (who has just seen the demonstration) is told that they have to act out what they have just seen for the third person. After it's done, the fourth person enters and the scene is acted out again by the third person.

The games ends when the third person has done the mime, and the fourth person is asked what they have just seen. They get three guesses. This game is just like telephone but acting out instead of whispering.
