BOWL OF NOUNS
PLAYERS: 6 to 9 (divided into teams of 2-3 people)
THINGS NEEDED TO PLAY: Bowl, paper, pens, and people!
* Get some little pieces of paper, have everyone write a noun on each one you can do multiple if you want. And put them in a bowl/hat/holder.
* Assign each person a partner (generally across the room) this is their teammate for the game.
* Start round 1: Each player will receive 30 seconds with their partner to go through as many nouns as they can. In the first round, you describe the noun in however many words you desire. The bowl goes around the room until there are no nouns left. At the end of this round, teams count up their points and return their nouns to the bowl.
* Second Round: This round is the same as the first but players can only describe the noun using one word. Tally points at the end and add to round one score.
* Third round: In this round, players can only act out the noun. At the end of this round, the game is over and the team with the most points wins.
* ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Depending on your preference, you can change the amount of time players have in each round to guess the noun. Additionally, you can have three per team if odd numbers apply. It’s wise to have each person write down at least two nouns.
HISTORY OF THE GAME: The first time I played this game it was when my sisters were home from college and they had a party. I never knew the actually name of it, therefore I’m calling it Bowl of Nouns. It’s like a mixture of catchphrase and charades in one.
