Number of Players: 4 or more (2 to play, 2 to guess)
Age of Players: 8 and above
You will need: No equipment needed.
Prep: No prep needed – just some ideas for words to communicate.
How to Play:
A player from each team starts at the front and is given a simple word to communicate (whispered by a leader or given on a slip of paper). There is only one problem, they cannot speak, they must only use their butt! By turning around and drawing the letters out with their butt, the team must try to work out what the movement spells. When they have figured it out, they can shout out. The player then moves onto the next word. The player that communicates the most amount of words in the given time is the winner.
