While one player, say Joe, is sent out of the room, the others decide on an adverb which he will
have to guess. The clues will be acted out silently by the other players. Let's say the adverb is "sweetly." When Joe comes back into the room, he asks Susie to do a dance step, for example, "in the manner of the word." Or to walk with a book on her head "in the manner of the word." Or to polish the table-or comb her hair or eat a chocolate or read a magazine-whatever he asks her to do, she must do it "in the manner of the word." When Susie has executed a dance step reeking with sweetness, Joe asks another player to do the same thing, or a different action. There is no limit to the number of guesses Joe gets, and the game goes on until the adverb is discovered. Then Joe selects a new guesser (preferably the one whose act helped him to guess) and the game goes on. Be sure to pick adverbs that are easy to act out, such as angrily, hatefully, heavily, sadly, softly, uncomfortably, wisely etc. |
