GestureRace
(requires 2 or more players)
Setup:
At the beginning of the day, the group of players needs to decide three things:
Play:
The goal of the game is to end up with the least points. You get one point every
time the "trigger" occurs and you are the last person to make the
gesture. For example, if your "trigger" is a dog barking, and your
"gesture" is people barking, then when a dog barked the last person
who barked would get a point. It's up to each person to keep track of their
own points, but feel free to help each other out.
Optional Rules
A good optional rule is that when there are only two players present, the trigger
word doesn't "count" if it is said by one of the players. This prevents
the situation of two people simply saying the trigger word as often as possible.
This game can also be enhanced by adding gestures as you play. If you're playing over a span of days, each evening whoever is leading gets to pick a new gesture and a new trigger. After only a couple days, it will start getting difficult remembering which gesture goes with which trigger.
