What you need

  • Bedsheet
  • Torch
  • Assorted objects

How to do it

  1. Stretch the sheet as a screen, fix a lamp behind it and darken the room.
  2. The game leader holds up one object after another in front of the lamp.
  3. Start far from the screen, then move closer and closer. The shadow gets sharper.
  4. Whoever guesses correctly first gets a point.

Variations

  • Pick objects with a recognisable outline, such as cutlery, shoes or cuddly toys.
