I Accept Show Purposes. Especially when you tell them to play the trombone or something. Once a person finds the hider s , instead of announcing it, they proceed to join in on the hiding. The last person to find the entire group loses. Everyone has a piece of paper and one person at a time has the dictionary. That person opens to a random page, finds a word they don't know, and announces it to the group.

If nobody in the group knows the word, they can proceed. Each person writes the word on a slip of paper and makes up a definition for it, except for the person who found the word they write the actual definition.

After writing, everyone turns in their definitions to the first person who proceeds to read all the definitions fake and real aloud to the group. Everyone but the announcer gets one guess as to which definition is correct. After everyone has guessed, the announcer reveals the correct answer. If you guessed the correct definition, you get a point. If someone guessed your made up definition, you get a point for each time it was guessed. If nobody guesses the correct definition, the person who originally chose the word gets a point.

Then the dictionary is passed to the next person and the process is repeated. Basically there's a card read aloud, like, 'Who would have the worst passenger rating on Uber? Then the person who got the most votes gets to call out who they think voted for them. It promotes funny story telling, too. Choose a random list on Wikipedia, like countries by population. Either do the top 10 or top 20, and each person gets one or two guesses. You get one point for number one on the list, two points for number two, etc.

So you're aiming for the lower half of the list, or safe and pick a easy one at the top. Go through some lists and the one with most points wins. First, everyone writes a sentence with preferably vivid imagery. Next, everyone passes their paper, now with a sentence, to their right, and now everyone must draw a picture representing that sentence.

Before passing the paper on, you fold over the sentence, leaving only the picture, with which the next person must describe using a sentence. Repeat these steps until you get your paper back, and have fun charting the course of sentence and pictures! This is one of my personal favorite party games.
