Players take turns acting out an action word ending in "ly" while the other players guess the word. Example, "quietly".

The first player starts acting out her word. One at a time, the other players ask her to do something to describe her word.

Example, a player can say, "run to describe your word" and the actor can tip toe or perform some other action that describes her word.

Another word could be "quickly". The child acting out the word could do the motions very fast.

If the word is "loudly" and the child is asked to clap his hands, he should clap them as loud as he can!

Teachers can have fun with this in the classroom but don't push shy children into doing this activity if it makes them uncomfortable.

It makes a fun at home activity or birthday party game as long as parents keep in mind that shy children may not like this game.

Players call out answers, and the player who calls the correct word out first wins that round and gets one point.

If, after each player has requested an action, the word is not guessed, the actor must choose another word.

When all players have acted out a word, the winner is the player with the most points.
