Game categories: Team Work / Chilled Out / Icebreakers / Drama
Materials: Giant Dice, paper, pens, play-doh
This game is a cross between pictionary, sculptionary and charades.
Firstly come up with a list of words to use. Divide the group into 4 teams and give each team a tray of play-doh, some paper and some pens. Then each team sends a volunteer up to the leader who's running the game. They then get each player to roll the giant dice in turn.
Designate two numbers to each type.
Ie. 1, 2 = Charades
3,4 = Pictionary
5,6 = Sculptionary
Then give all the players the first word from the list. The players will then go back to their group and act, draw or sculpt out the word, depending on what number they rolled. Once someone in their group guesses the word correctly, they go up and roll the dice again and receive the next word. The first team to get through the complete list of words wins!

i did a slight variation of this with my yr 6s.... i just played plain pictionary but made a 'path' that they had to follow out of masking tape with numbers on it. As a team they had to climb over couches, under pool tables etc... we still played pictionary the same way. Very easy to set up, easy to pack up and the kids LOVED it :P
