When we met up after Christmas break we decided to play our new games that we got for Christmas. We played partini and catchphrase but the best game...Things in a Hat! It is such a simple game and we have so much fun playing it!
Here is how it works:
1. Find people to play and break off into teams.
2. Every person writes down a character, person (past or present, famous or normal), cartoon on 5 pieces of paper. A new person per paper.
3. Put the papers into a hat. We use a "pimp hat" that I got for Christmas.
4. A person from one of the teams goes first. He/She get 1 minute to try to get his/her team to say the name that is on the paper that they pull out of the hat. You keep picking out names until the time runs out. You have to get them to say whatever name you pick out. It has to be exactly what is written on the paper ex: if the paper is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart your team can't get the point by saying Mozart. You can't switch papers if you don't know it. You stick with whatever you pick out.
5. ROUND 1: You have to describe the person without saying his/her/its name. So if it is Sponge Bob Square Pants you can say: He lives in a pineapple under the sea. He is a cartoon. etc.
6. After round is done count up points (you keep the papers that your team gets so that they stay out of the hat). Then put all the names back in the hat and get ready for round 2.
7. ROUND 2: You have to get your team to say the name by acting it out like charades. You can use props. Works same as round one. Keep the papers that your team gets and when round over add them up and they go back in the hat.
8. ROUND 3: You have to get your team to say the name by only using one word. Whatever the first word that comes out of your mouth is the word that they have to use to guess. So if you mess up and say "Song" and your friends have no clue what you are talking about you have to sit there and look pretty. Another example: For Ross Geller you could say Friends.
9. Add up points and game over.
It is a lot to explain on here but it is one of my new favourite games.
