How to Play:
Materials Needed:
- Modeling Clay
- 40 index cards
- 2 felt-tip pens
- Stopwatch or timer
- Paper
- Pen or pencil for keeping scores
How to Play:
1. Divide the group into two teams and have them sit on opposite sides of a table.
2. Give each group twenty index cards and a felt-tip pen. On each card, have them write down a noun for something that can be shaped in clay, such as cat, table, bus, and so on.
3. Stack the cards in two separate piles. Give Team 1 the pile written by Team 2 and vice versa.
4. Give each group a large lump of clay.
5. Have a player from Team 1 draw a card written by Team 2. That player must create the selected word out of clay and have his or her teammates guess the item before one is minute is called. Award a point if the word is guessed correctly.
6. Alternate teams and players until the cards are gone.
7. Award a prize to the team with the most points.
Variations:
Instead of restricting the game to nouns, make it more challenging by allowing verbs to be included. Then, if you like, add people, short phrases, movie titles, and so on.
