Everything you need to play this game

  • Hourglass (stopwatch)
  • Bottle caps

A step-by-step guide to play the game

1

Setup

The facilitator unfolds all the star points and writes an assignment that is linked to the talent in each star point. Every star represents a specific talent (music, theater, drawing, geography...). Fold the stars again.


Assignments are acting out / singing / humming / quiz ... assignments where one member performs the task and the other member tries to guess the answers or gives the answers to the quiz question. Sports assignments are carried out against the other team and require the team to take action X times (throwing the ball, jumping, push ups ...)

2

Distribution

Divide the group into two teams (A left and B right) and choose which team can start (for example A). Enter the names of the talent hunters in the provided stars in the corners of the panel.

3

Spin the wheel of talents

A member of team A turns the disk in the middle.

This disc consists of 6 parts: 5 talents and a star. These talents correspond to the closed stars. When the disc stops at a talent (indicated by the red arrow), the player may choose a star point corresponding to the talent. When the disc stops at a star, the player may choose a talent and corresponding star point.


Multiple talents / stars can always be added to the game according to the target group.

4

Run the command

The talent hunter (A) silently reads the star point, folds it back and goes back to his team member (B). The team turns the hourglass around and carries out the assignment at the star point:


Team member A sings / hums / depicts / asks a question / draws ... and team member B looks for the answer.


OR


One person per team throws a tennis ball at least X times at each other, jumping at least X times.

5

Points allocation

If the assignment succeeds before the hourglass runs out, the team earns a point. The team places a cork on the score bar.


The team that wins a sports assignment also gets a point.

6

Now it Team B's turn. Perform steps 3, 4 and 5.

7

The game stops when:

  • A team has 8 points
  • All stars are unfolded: team with the most points wins.

Variations

Game for 2 players

Play as 1 team against the game. Try to reach the maximum (8 points) in 15 turns. The facilitator ensures that in Setup (Step 1) the star points do not contain commands that require 2 teams.


Generalize the stars / talents

Give the participants more freedom when choosing assignments by providing the star points with icons (for example football, microphone, drum ...) The participants must devise an assignment that is linked to the icon.

Easy and fun rotation disc which allows youth workers to easily discover talents within their target group! The game links geography, drawing, sports, music and theater in one activity. Don't forget to think about the different assignments for the star points beforehand, because the activities will determine if the game will be a success. The competitive element will surely boost the energy throughout the game. Well done team Exellys!
