This game is played more like Win, Lose, or Draw than Pictionary.

1. Print and cut out the Scriptionary cards.
2. Separate into two teams.
3. Choose a member of one team to choose a card and draw the picture or event written on the card.
4. The artist has 90 seconds to draw. Members of his or her team will try to guess what the picture is of—the artist may not speak. One point is awarded when the picture is named correctly.
5. After 90 seconds, if the drawing team has not guessed the picture, the other team has a chance to guess. The stealing team gets an extra point if they can guess what the other team drew.
6. The second team chooses an artist, and play continues as described above.

You can choose whether to allow gestures, letters, blanks for words, or other symbols.
