• This house drawing format uses “Silent Round · Pictionary” with the selected rule below. Drawers communicate the answer through their drawing, without acting, mouthing words or pointing to the hidden prompt. Keep safety and access communication available; agree a suitable response method before the turn. Setup: Make two or more teams with at least two people each; with only two or three players, use one cooperative group. Write these prompts on slips and shuffle them: umbrella; bicycle; kettle; key; ladder; apple; boat; clock; chair; shoe; tree; cup; book; kite; spoon; house; balloon; guitar. A willing drawer sees one slip and the others guess for up to one minute. Draw on paper without letters, numbers or spoken clues; guessers may speak. Each team gets one turn per round for three rounds; rotate the drawer. Set used slips aside, reshuffling only after the supply is exhausted. A pass draws another slip within the same minute; access adjustments are allowed. Before play, announce round two as the quiet round; ordinary spoken guesses remain available in rounds one and three. Play: For one announced round, the drawer follows the ordinary clue restrictions and guessers write or point to their guesses instead of calling them out. The host checks guesses during the minute. Any speech or other communication needed for safety or access remains allowed. Scoring: A correct guess naming the prompt or an unmistakable equivalent within the minute earns the drawing team 1. A timeout or pass with no successful guess earns 0. Finish: After three equal team turns, highest total wins; ties share. With one cooperative group, report its shared successes out of three instead of an individual winner. Selected rule: Show the prompt after the turn and confirm that the successful guess matched it before posting the point. Recognition: Recognize a clear drawing clue, considerate access support or a fair answer check. Use PG prompts only, allow passes, no rude drawings, and keep markers on paper or whiteboard only.

• This house drawing format uses “Classic Draw and Guess” with the selected rule below. Drawers communicate the answer through their drawing, without acting, mouthing words or pointing to the hidden prompt. Keep safety and access communication available; agree a suitable response method before the turn. Setup: Make two or more teams with at least two people each; with only two or three players, use one cooperative group. Write these prompts on slips and shuffle them: umbrella; bicycle; kettle; key; ladder; apple; boat; clock; chair; shoe; tree; cup; book; kite; spoon; house; balloon; guitar. A willing drawer sees one slip and the others guess for up to one minute. Draw on paper without letters, numbers or spoken clues; guessers may speak. Each team gets one turn per round for three rounds; rotate the drawer. Set used slips aside, reshuffling only after the supply is exhausted. A pass draws another slip within the same minute; access adjustments are allowed. Before play, put each team name on one folded slip. Draw every slip, post that order and check that each team appears exactly once. Play: The drawer keeps the slip hidden and draws the prompt under the stated clue rules. Guessers may try several answers before time expires. Stop on a correct answer, show the slip, record the result and pass to the next team. Keep the posted order for all three rounds. Do not redraw after play starts. Scoring: A correct guess naming the prompt or an unmistakable equivalent within the minute earns the drawing team 1. A timeout or pass with no successful guess earns 0. Finish: After three equal team turns, highest total wins; ties share. With one cooperative group, report its shared successes out of three instead of an individual winner. Selected rule: Correct a missing or duplicated name before scoring begins, with everyone watching. A disliked position is not a reason to redraw. Recognition: Recognize a clear drawing clue, considerate access support or a fair answer check. Use PG prompts only, allow passes, no rude drawings, and keep markers on paper or whiteboard only.

• This house drawing format uses “Classic Draw and Guess” with the selected rule below. Drawers communicate the answer through their drawing, without acting, mouthing words or pointing to the hidden prompt. Keep safety and access communication available; agree a suitable response method before the turn. Setup: Make two or more teams with at least two people each; with only two or three players, use one cooperative group. Write these prompts on slips and shuffle them: umbrella; bicycle; kettle; key; ladder; apple; boat; clock; chair; shoe; tree; cup; book; kite; spoon; house; balloon; guitar. A willing drawer sees one slip and the others guess for up to one minute. Draw on paper without letters, numbers or spoken clues; guessers may speak. Before play, list all participating members of each team and keep those membership lists fixed. This version gives each listed person one drawer slot in each of three cycles; the team guesses on that person’s turn. Set used slips aside, reshuffling only after the supply is exhausted. A pass draws another slip within the same minute; access adjustments are allowed. Play: In each cycle, follow the fixed member lists. Every listed player has one minute to draw a privately selected slip for their team, under the ordinary clue rules. Record each result beside that player’s name. Passing the whole slot scores 0 and preserves later slots; a prompt pass uses the remaining minute. Set used slips aside and reshuffle only after the supply is exhausted. Scoring: A correct guess within the minute earns 1; otherwise 0. Add every member’s turn points, then divide by the number of listed team members, including people who passed. Compare exact fractions: 4 points divided by 2 people equals 2, while 5 divided by 3 is less than 2. Do not discard low scores. Finish: After all three cycles, highest team average wins; equal averages share. With one cooperative group, report its average without an opponent. Teams must have at least one listed participant; a group without participants may observe and has no scored average. Selected rule: Everyone has three scheduled drawer slots. A pass never changes the fixed divisor, removes a later slot or requires someone else to take that slot. Averaging adjusts for team size; it does not remove skill differences. Recognition: Recognize a clear drawing clue, considerate access support or a fair answer check. Use PG prompts only, allow passes, no rude drawings, and keep markers on paper or whiteboard only. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

Keep the one-minute limit and access options on both tracks. Scoring: A correct guess naming the prompt or an unmistakable equivalent within the minute earns the drawing team 1. A timeout or pass with no successful guess earns 0. Keep easier and standard scores on separate sheets. Finish: After three turns per team, name winners separately for each track; ties share. A single team on a track reports shared successes, not a comparison against the other track. Selected rule: Adults and helpers may read options or support the response method without choosing the answer for a participant.
