Telephone Pictionary

Telephone (the game) is pretty hilarious by itself where even the most mundane sentence could turn into the scandalous sentence. If you don't know what it is, Wikipedia is a great place to learn what it is.

Pictionary is a spectacle of subliminal messaging and intense frustration. Sometimes the simplest of pictures convey the deepest of thoughts. Once again, Wikipedia comes to the rescue if you never played it.

What do you get when you fuse the two? The creatively named game of Telephone Pictionary.

The game is simple and easy to set up. One only needs at least 4 more friends, sheets of paper and pens/pencils.

Each player starts by writing a sentence at the very top of the paper. It could be as simple as "I walk" or as complicated as a sentence from the Bard. Then each player passes the paper to the left or right.

By now, each player will have a sheet of paper with a different sentence on it. This is where the Pictionary part comes in: each player now draws an interpretation of the sentence as best as each person can in a reasonable amount of time. Now each player folds the initial sentence in a way that the next player can't see it. Pass it again.

Now you should get the gist. Each player sees only one previous item from the last player and writes either a sentence or picture again. Once the paper reaches the original owner (which might not even recognize it) the round is over.

Hilarity ensues.
