Title: Fish Bowl
Post by: CKorfmann on May 26, 2010, 11:34:48 pm
This is a good game for a group of people.  We played it on our family vacation.  Works best with an even number of people since everyone has a partner. 

Each player rights down a single a single word (a noun) on three different slips of paper (giving each person three words).  All the words go into a bowl (the fish bowl).  During the first round, each two player team has 30 seconds to guess as many of the words as they can with one teammate reading the word and giving the other one clues.  Play continues with each team getting 30 seconds until all the words are gone.  Be careful not to destroy the slips of paper because you'll need them again. 

The team that used the last word in round 1 begins round 2.  All the words are put back into the bowl and this time, the person reading the word can only give their partner one-word clues.

In the third round, all the same words are used again, only this time the reader must act out the word and can not say anything.  A point is earned for each word guessed correctly in each round.  It's a pretty fun party game.
