Telephone Pictionary

Everyone starts a paper chain with a silly sentence. Pass it on: the next person draws the sentence, the next describes the drawing, and so on. Fold each panel back so nobody sees more than the one before. Unfold the sheet at the end to see how “Santa stuck in a chimney” turned into something completely different.

How to play

  1. Everyone writes a Christmas sentence in the first panel of their sheet (or picks one from the starter list). Fold the panel back and pass the sheet to the left.
  2. The next person draws what the sentence says. Fold it back and pass again. The next writes what the drawing shows. Keep alternating.
  3. When the panels are full, unfold your sheet and read the chain aloud. Prepare to laugh.

You need: A pen per guest. What's in it: 30 starter phrases and a chain sheet for every guest.
