Game rules (which follow the similar rules to pictionary)

  1. Divide the number of players into TWO teams.

  2. A player from one team is given a famous landmark from the list below / attached by the opposite team (or create your own for added fun!)

  3. The player has up to 2 minutes to grab household items and construct their landmark. At the end of the time the remaining players from their team have to guess the landmark. A correct guess gains the team a point.

  4. The teams then swap roles and a player from the opposite team now follows steps 2 and 3.

  5. Teams alternate until all of the landmarks on your list have been attempted.

  6. Total up your teams points....and return a household items to their places!

Other than anything you can find in your house, you will need to print the document below and cut it up, so you can randomly pick one and then try to build the structure.
