Emoticons

(Also known as: Funny Faces Game)

Can you quickly identify your team mate's sketch of an emoticon??

Step 1.
Split the group into family or any suitable mixed age teams. Arrange a blackboard or white board and pens.
Step 2.
Print out a page of emoticons from the internet and cut them up into individual emoticons. Better still draw them accurately on a small card. Include the name of the emotion illustrated.
Step 3.
Teams take turns to nominate a player who comes to the board and picks an emoticon card at random. He must NOT show this to the other players.
Step 4.
Within a time limit of say 1 minute, he must then draw this emoticon on the board for his team mates to guess. Each player in the team has just ONE guess.
A point for each emotion correctly identified within the time limit. Highest scoring team wins.
