Choose the player who goes to show the word first. He draws the top card from the deck, chooses one of the words indicated on it (it is better to start with simple ones, which are marked with a “+2” sign) and starts showing it to the other players using facial expressions, gestures and other body movements. While you are showing the word, other players guess it, expressing their versions aloud. As soon as the correct version sounds (matching the word you chose from the drawn card), your turn ends. You return to the other players and now you will guess with them, and the player who guessed your word draws a new card from the deck, chooses one of the words and starts showing it. After your word has been guessed, keep a card with words and do not let anyone look at her. In the future, when you guess someone's word and go to show again, choose another word or phrase from your card. The winner of the game is the one who first shows all the words on the card he got.Team game

Game "Crocodile" is able to amuse absolutely any company, regardless of its age and views, it reveals the acting abilities and ingenuity of the players. One has only to start playing, as all the participants have excitement and unprecedented enthusiasm in the eyes. My friends and I have been practicing this game for a very long time, and, nevertheless, it always goes with a bang, and if new people appear in the company, they join it with great pleasure. You can generally make up the entire entertainment program of the party from various variations of this game, and your guests will be very pleased. In addition, the game does not require prior preparation, as well as special equipment and premises, just the desire to play is enough. And now I will tell the beginners the rules of the game and give some tips.
The essence of the game
A word, phrase or phrase is guessed (at the discretion of the facilitator or participants). One of the players must show what was hidden without words, only with gestures, facial expressions, and postures, that is, pantomime.
There are two versions of this game - individual and team.
In the first case, one of the players calls the other a task (a word or phrase), and he tries to explain what was hidden to the rest by means of “pantomime”. The player who is the first to name this word or phrase will, in turn, have to explain the next task given to him by the previous driver in the same way. You can prepare task cards in advance, and the players will pull them out at random.
In a team game, all players are divided into two teams. One of them gives a task to a player from the opposing team. For a certain period of time (for example, 3-5 minutes), he must depict the meaning of this task so that his team can guess the given word or phrase. If they did it, they got a point, and now it's the turn of the second team to guess. And so - until you get bored!
Rules of the game "Crocodile"
1. The player shows the word using only facial expressions, gestures, movements. He is forbidden to pronounce words (any, even “yes”, “no”, etc.) and sounds, especially those by which it is easy to guess the word (for example, by the sound “meow” you can easily guess that the cat is guessed).
3. It is forbidden to show the hidden word by letter, i.e. show words, the first letters of which will add up the hidden word!
4. Guessers can: ask the player any questions; ask the player to show synonyms; list any options that appear. Remember that a lot depends on the activity of those who guess, on their ability to ask the most significant questions.
5. A certain time is allotted to display a word or phrase. If the correct answer is not heard before the end of this period, then the word is considered not guessed.
6. If one word is guessed, then it should be a noun in the nominative case and singular (for example, any object or animal).
7. Attention! The word is considered guessed if the word is pronounced exactly as it was guessed (with the same prefixes, suffixes, etc.). For example, the word "sun" was guessed - in this case, "sun" would be the wrong answer.
Special gestures
It is best for players to agree in advance on special gestures denoting certain concepts. For instance:
- first, the player shows on his fingers how many words are in the task, and then begins to depict any word (the team helps the player and asks: “Is this a noun?”, “Is this an adjective?”, etc.)
- cross with hands - “forget, I show again”
- the player points his finger at one of the guessers - he named the word closest to the solution
- circular or rotational movements with the palm - "pick up synonyms", or "close"
- a large circle of hands in the air - a broader concept or abstraction associated with a hidden word
- the player claps his hands and makes a wave with one hand - you need to add a suffix to the word named by the team, the root of the word is named correctly (cute - cute, dress - dress)
- crossed fingers - prefix "not"
- the player points the finger behind the back - the verb is in the past tense
- the player claps his hands - “hooray, the word was guessed correctly”, etc.
- Come up with your own variants of gestures for the concepts of “repeat”, “quite the opposite”, “show in parts”, “close in meaning”, etc.
Tasks for the game
For those who are just learning the game, it is better to start with simple words on any specific topic, then move on to more complex abstraction words (for example, "perfection", "science", etc.). Experienced and artistic players can think of phrases, famous expressions, films (it is advisable to immediately show the number of words on your fingers), or famous personalities and characters.
When tasks are no longer thought out, you can use the available art and philosophical books. Experience shows that guessing phrases from books is much more difficult than those invented on the go.
You can draw whatever you want:
- Any arbitrary words
- Words related to a specific topic (any topic can be: circus, office, shop, school, fruits, candy names, animals, clothes, sports, professions, etc.)
- Emotions, feelings
- Famous personalities
- Fairy tale characters
- Phrases from songs
- Movies
- Sayings and proverbs
- and many many others…

The essence of the game: players draw cards from a hat, read the name of a celebrity on it and try to depict this celebrity without words (with gestures, facial expressions). The one who guesses, himself pulls a note from a hat and depicts a celebrity that has fallen out to him. You can award a point for each guess and give the winner a prize at the end of the game.

The one who guesses the song changes places with the driver and takes the next song out of the bag.

Guess the item
Various items are prepared in advance: keychain, toothpaste, pen, soap, chocolate, balloon, notepad, etc. The names of these items are written on separate pieces of paper, which are then rolled up so that the participants cannot see what is written. Then the participants take apart the papers. Everyone must depict the object that he got, and the rest of the participants must guess what is being depicted. The participant who first names the displayed item receives it as a gift.
Witness testimony
You need to choose one person who will guess. He retires for a while while the company (or host) figures out who the perpetrator will be. You can guess anyone, including the guesser himself. When the player returns, everyone present, without the help of words, but only with gestures and facial expressions, portrays the appearance of the criminal to him. If the player does not guess the criminal after three attempts, he drives again. If he guesses, then he chooses new person, and the game continues until you get bored.
Cheerful noisy companies are very fond of getting together to play psychological games. Crocodile is one such game. It is universal in itself. The game does not require special equipment and premises, it is enough just cheerful company at least three people. In addition, "Crocodile" not only improves mood but also develops non-verbal thinking. From the site article, you will learn about the features of such psychological games, rules and example words for this game.
Features of psychological games
If we consider the scope of games in psychology, then we immediately find ourselves in the section of group therapy. Indeed, from early childhood, we are accustomed to play together with comrades, try on different roles and participate in fictitious actions. Children's educational games (,) are very useful for intelligence, improving skills, and practicing behavioral stereotypes. Let's remember with what excitement we all were teachers, doctors, educators. And a little later, the time came for the famous “Spoiled Phone”, “Ring-Ring”, “Words” ... By the way, modern children know far from all the games that we, their parents, played with such passion. It's a pity - after all, this is really an indispensable thing in the development of a small citizen.
It's time to grow up. And the complexes, unshed grievances remained. There are also unfinished scripts, the desire to be someone that you are not now. Depression, feeling of uselessness, loneliness and loss are pressing more and more. And in this state, as a rule, people fall into the group of psychological training. And there, a professional creates an environment that is most conducive to relieving tension, releasing emotions, rethinking those attitudes that are already irrelevant at the moment, which have been entrenched since childhood. And what can better liberate a person than a game? The most popular psychological games that have “taken root” with such success among the people are “”, “Earthquake”, “Shipwrecked”. All of them ideally assume the presence of a leader who not only determines the sequence of events, but also monitors the non-verbal reactions of the participants in order to intervene in time in the process and prevent the development of a conflict that is possible during such games.
Game "Crocodile"
"Crocodile" is perhaps one of the most harmless psychological games. Of course, in group therapy, the trainer can also present it in order to identify the most problematic areas for group members. But in general, as a rule, the game is used as a warm-up - that is, a psychologically easy exercise designed to rally the group, switch the attention of participants from everyday activities to the work of the training and “warm up” a little - that is, stir up the emotional sphere.
Crocodile is a pantomime game. In order to successfully complete the task, you need to be very good at owning your own body and facial expressions. The game is very useful - in fact, few adults, with the exception of Jim Carrey, can boast of the ability to express emotions and feelings through gestures. It’s hard to even imagine what a dead end adults can be put into if you ask them to say “I love you” with gestures. Well, the group will give five or six options - and that's it! But in reality they are just a sea! It is precisely the study of this sea of \u200b\u200bopportunities that is devoted to crocodile game.
Rules of the game "Crocodile"
The rules are very simple. The participants are divided into two teams. The first team thinks of a word and informs its representative of the rivals. This is the chosen one, who must pantomime the word to his team. The pretender cannot speak, but members of his team can ask him questions, list the options that appear. Nodding your head “yes” or “no” to the person depicting the word is allowed - but no more! At this time, the team that made up the word can simply roll with laughter, seeing the efforts of opponents, often futile for a long time. If the word is guessed, the teams switch roles. Of course, a new player is set up for the image each time.
For those who are just learning the game, you can start with the elementary: guess the names of household appliances, furniture, etc. It will be more difficult with abstractions: for example, the word “set” was guessed for a long time. Now think for yourself, how can you portray "perfection"? If you have more or less figured out the words, you can proceed to the image of phrases, then - proverbs. In general, it turns out to be very fun and funny, especially if the company is selected, able to accept the jokes and appreciate the efforts of the other.
Of course, in each company the game will acquire a special meaning and individual sound. Young people sooner or later turn to sexual topics and think of something like “pornography” or “perversion”. Of course, both teams laugh to tears during the show. Older people with more traditional upbringings like to use tricky expressions like "light blue aquamarine" or " beautiful life". This is already entertainment for the philologically minded intelligentsia. And, of course, proverbs and all sorts of wedding sentences are wildly successful. For example: "Do not cut off the shoulder", "Mother-in-law is a man's friend."
Let's go back to the beginning. If the game is so easy and fun, what is its danger? In the "undercurrents" of individuals who play it. Someone may be embarrassed to portray something, and with urgent requests, they will be upset to tears and offended by everyone and everyone .. depicting. Here you have an unplanned hysteria. Therefore, it is better to know which topics in the game should not be voiced and be attentive to your leisure partners. Remember how in childhood? After all, the rules have always changed if they did not suit someone.
Crocodile is good fun. Good and cheerful. Suitable for all ages and educational levels. With reasonable care will deliver a lot positive emotions and make any holiday fun. Good game!
