You Will Need : - Any number of players
How To Play :
Pick a letter from the alphabet and declare that nobody is allowed to use a word containing that letter. Then ask each player in turn a question, cunningly designed to catch them out.
If the forbidden letter is "P", you might choose to ask: "What is the capital of France". Unable to say "Paris" because is contains letter "P", a quick-thinking player may replay "The city where The Sacre-Coeur Basilica

You Will Need : - Any even number of players - A bowl - Pencils and paper for all
How To Play :
The players write the names of 10 famous people or characters on pieces of paper. After that, the pieces get folded and put in the bowl. The players then divide into two teams.
Alternating between two teams, each player takes a piece of paper with the name out of the bowl and describes the person without naming them. The other team has to guess the identity.
When all the papers have been used, they are re-folded and placed back in the bowl.
In round two, the same process is repeated, but this time, players can only use three words to describe the famous person.
For the third round, players are only allowed one word of description and in the fourth and final round, the names have to be acted with no words permitted.
