9 – Movie ID
This game is like the game show Name that Tune except you’re naming movies instead! Well sort of, it’s a bit more complicated than that but if you like movies, this is a great one for your group!
Supplies Needed:
- Notecards or quarter sheets of paper with movie titles. I’ve put together a list of movies to get your started. If you’d prefer to play with something other than movies, be creative and come up with your own list of items.
- Buzzer
How To Play:
Split your group into two teams and put a buzzer on a table at the front of the room where you’ll be standing.
Explain to players that they will be trying to get their team to guess a movie title using a limited number of words. The catch is that they will be going head to head with the other team to bid on who gets to play each movie title.
Each player will see the movie title and determine how many words they need to use to get their team to guess the movie. They will battle against one another to determine who can get their team to guess the movie in the least amount of words.
Ask one player from each team to come up to the front and stand on either side of the table.
Show both players the first movie title card at the same time. The first player to hit the buzzer will give their bid first. So for example if the movie was Forrest Gump a player might grab the buzzer and say four (Hanks, box of chocolates).
If the other team thinks they can do it in less, they can say any number less than four. Players will go back and forth bidding until one team concedes to the other team and lets the other player take the bid.
The player who wins the bid will then try to get their team to guess the movie in the number of words they bid. So if the final bid for Forrest Gump was two, they might say Hanks, Bubba. A team only has one chance to guess the right movie.
Repeat with two new players from opposing teams until everyone has had a chance or until your movie list runs out.
How To Win:
The player with the most points at the end of the game wins! One point for each correctly guessed movie.
