Sketch Consequences
In preparation for a "Games Night" I'll be hosting at a new Tea and Theater restaurant in Manhattan Beach, I was looking for another drawing game like Redondo. I found a game called Sketch Consequences. Here's my slightly modified description:
Getting Ready:
At the start of the game, each player will need a pen and ...a sheet... of paper...
How to play:
Each player begins by writing down a book title in the top box.
When this is done, everyone passes their sheet of paper to the player on their left. Then everyone draws a sketch of the title that appears on the sheet that they have just received. When this is done, they fold over the paper so that the title in concealed and only the sketch is visible.
Everyone passes their sheet of paper to the left again. Now you have to guess which book title is depicted by the sketch you have just received and write your guess in the text box.
Then fold over the paper so that the sketch is concealed and only the text is visible.
This continues until everyone reaches the bottom of the sheets. They are passed on once more and opened up so that the contents can provide lots of laughter all round!
If you find that people are taking too long over the sketches, introduce a time limit. Thirty seconds is good for adult groups but one minute is best if children are playing.
We suggest that you vary the type of titles used each round. It makes the game work better if you choose a title that everyone else is familiar with.
Round 1: BOOK TITLES
Round 2: MOVIES
Round 3: TV SHOWS
Round 4: SONGS
