One of the games we both enjoy is Rapid Recall. It's a game there you have a list of 10 words. One person has 60 seconds to give clues to their team for each word (or as many as there is time for). Instead of calling out the answers though, you just toss a triangle into the middle basket and must remember your answer until time is up. Then the team has 30 seconds to say their answers and retrieve a triangle for each one correct. You can only have one answer per words though. When you retrieve the triangles for right answers, they get placed on your half of the board and the first to cover all their spaces wins. This is a great game for a group. We've played with as many as 10 people, but it also works well for only 4. With just the two of us, we had to modify it a bit. We had Tigger on one team against Pooh on the other team and took turns giving clues and guessing for each. Pooh won, but only by two.
It's really easy to get distracted. With lots of people playing, it can be kind of fun and makes it more challenging trying to distract the guessing team, although only the person giving clues is allowed to talk. Everyone else is supposed to be quiet so the team guessing can concentrate. What usually distracts me is when I'm guessing and the answer isn't right. That throws me off and I tend to forget my other answers! Another problem for me was that when playing so many rounds, I was still remembering words from previous rounds! It's harder than you think! Sometimes, my brain can only remember 3 or if I say them back really quick without missing, sometimes I can get 4. Gerard had the most recalled when we played with 6 in one turn. That's good even for team play! It's fun, easy to learn and doesn't take much set up.
