Counting Words

Synonyms:
Numbers Game, Sentence Game

Introduction:
Each of the players in this game will be assigned a number between 1 and 10. Each sentence that the player speaks must contain their given number of words.

Description:
The players must keep track of every word that they speak. If a player is assigned the number 3, she must have 3 words in every sentence. "No, I won't." "Yes, Yes, Yes!" would be examples of her sentences. Players that must must speak in 10 word sentences become rather talkative characters. This is a good listening game. If the other players just wait for a player that is a word or two short, there is tremendous pay-off.

Gimmicks:
The one word player is asked to explain herself, or give directions. The 10 word player is asked to be concise, or just answer yes/no.

Variations:
All players have the same sentence length and that changes throughout the scene. Players must decrease, or increase, the sentence count throughout the scene.
