Activity Countdown

Fight for Time with all you’ve got

Another version of Activity where you should explain as many terms as possible to your team to reach the finish first. This version uses a timer that administrates time for all teams, at the start of the game for each team the agreed amount of time is entered.

The first presenter of a team draws a card, the timer is started and stopped when the team guesses the term correctly. The presenter uses the method stated next to the term on the card, drawing, explaining or pantomime. The team can pass, then in turn all other teams can give one guess. For this guess the timer is not started and stopped, the answer must come immediately. If a team guesses correctly, it’s marker moves accordingly. When the presenter has dealt with all four terms on the card the team chooses a new presenter and he draws a new card. For a first game the rules recommend 10 minutes per team, but you can give more or less time to each team. The terms are always made up from a combination of two nouns, and the rules recommend to present the two words separately, this is in most cases much easier than to explain the compound term. If a team has used up its time credit before the end of the game it must drop out of the game.

Activity remains the same Activity whatever the changes are; as in Monopoly you note the changes that are made in a version, but these changes do not really affect the well-working basic mechanisms of the game so that the game remains familiar and fun! Activity always is an excellent game for larger groups, where you can use your creativity and ideas!
