In this group version of the board game Pictionary, the aim is to draw a picture of a selected word so a team member can guess it--before the clock runs out.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED: At least four players, a large board to write on and a stopwatch.

RULES: Divide your family into two teams. If you have a Pictionary set, you can use the game's clue cards to give each team subjects to draw. If not, create your own on index cards with markers. In alternating turns, each team sends up a player to draw a word, with all members of that team allowed to guess it. If a team member guesses correctly before the timer goes off, that team wins a point and it is the next team's turn. The enthusiasm of this guessing game can be contagious, so make it clear that if someone from the resting team yells out the right word by accident, the drawing team still receives the point.
