This game/app was a huge hit at my house over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Created by Ellen DeGeneres and made popular with celebrity guests on her talk show, this charades type game allows each player to take a turn with the word clue on his/her forehead, prompted all others to give clues (or, in my family's case, to move immediately into your personal space and start yelling things!)
There are lots of categories and ways to limit what or how clues are given, like only humming the name of a song. "Brown-eyed Girl" was what I was supposed to guess for one turn and between my brother-in-law humming in my face and my sister just randomly pointing at her eye, I lost it. The kind of "can't breathe!" laughing that is followed by tears.
It was also fun to see multiple generations really enjoy this game. It will definitely be played again next year!
