The Prop Game

GAMEPLAY
The facilitator assembles a group of common household items (e.g., a pen, a paper clip, a fork) to be used as props. Player 1 selects an item and writes down five things that they will transform the prop into, showing their list to no one by placing it face down. Player 1 then uses the item, non-verbally, pantomiming in a way that transforms the item into one of the items on their list.

The other players must guess what it is. Each time another player correctly guesses the item, Player 1 moves on to the next thing on their five-item list. This continues for one minute or until all five items are guessed. The game is done when each player has had a chance to perform. The same object may not be used twice. Example: Moving a pen across your mouth like a toothbrush
