The Advertising Game

This game involves acting out a TV commercial. It could be based on an existing commercial or you could be more adventurous and invent your own.

You'll need to gather up a number of odd items laying around the house. For example tooth brushes, can of beans, or cell phones. Once you have enough items for yourself and each child, you place them into a paper bag.

A person is chosen to pick out an item from the bag then they are given 1 minute to think about it.

Next they have to act out a commercial about the item they have chosen. It can get extremely funny. Kids make the best commercials.

Be careful to choose items that won't make a mess or that can be easily damaged. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to use a full Ketchup bottle or your best china teapot.

Broken items could be saved and keep in a box reserved especially for the game. You could wash out old bottles and containers, making sure that the lablels are retained. I'm sure you'll find many exciting items of your own.
