Signs

To play this game, have everyone stand or sit in a circle. Each person decides on their own "sign" and shares it with the group. Each sign should be a small motion or signal, and can be anything from a thumbs up to a wink to blowing a kiss to a dance move.

Go around the group a couple of times so that everyone gets to know everyone's sign. Now pick a person to be "it" and have them stand in the middle of the circle.

The way the game is played is one person starts, and "passes" to another player. They do this by performing another player's sign. To accept the sign, the receiver performs their own sign again. To pass it, they select another player's sign and do that, the person does it to receive, and so the game goes.

Select a person to start the passing. Have the person in the middle of the circle close their eyes and count to 10. This gives the first passer time to pass the sign on to someone else. After 10 seconds, the person in the middle can open his or her eyes.

The person in the middle of the circle is trying to guess who currently "has it," so the other players try to be discreet (such as doing the signs when the person is looking at people in a different part of the circle). If the person in the center catches the one who "has it," they rejoin the circle and the one who had it becomes the new person in the middle of the circle, and a new round begins.
