Papelitos


During our vacation, we often played papelitos. We learned how to play papelitos Christmas 2008 with Paul's family in Mexico. Here are the basic rules:

 - everyone writes names of famous people, movies or things on small pieces of paper (hence the name papelitos, which is Spanish for small piece of paper) and puts them into a large bowl
 - two teams need to be made (we usually play boys against girls)
 - Round #1: you describe the word on the paper without saying that word (kind of like the game Taboo) and your team members have to guess.
 - Round #2: you can only say one word and your other team members have to guess what’s written on your paper. Both teams always have to be listening because some associations are repeated.
 - Round #3: you have to act out what is on your paper and your team has to guess. If they guess right, you place the paper into your individual team bowl and pick up another paper, if not, you have to keep describing until they get it. You each get one minute to do this until the papers are out of the big bowl and into individual team bowls. 
 - The team with the most points wins!
