Act, Draw or Say

The action die decides: act it out, draw it, or describe it. Your team has a minute to guess.

Players: 4+Ages 6+20 minNeeds 8+ pairs

What you need

  • The cards
  • The action die (cut, fold and tape) or a regular die
  • Paper and pencils for drawing
  • A one-minute timer

How to play

  1. Split into two teams. On your turn, roll the action die: ACT means act it out without words, DRAW means draw it with no letters or numbers, SAY means describe it without saying the word.
  2. With a regular die: 1 or 2 is ACT, 3 or 4 is DRAW, 5 or 6 is SAY.
  3. Draw a card and do what the die says. The small hint at the bottom is for you only.
  4. If your team guesses within a minute, score a point. Then the other team plays. Most points wins.

Make it easier or harder

  • Everyone plays: whoever guesses first takes the next turn.
