Perky card game"Crocodile" Designed for two or more children over 5 years old. It contains simple but interesting words that are easy for a child to explain and understand. This exciting, smart entertainment will be a real hit at your children's party!
Players' task– explain the words on the cards using facial expressions and gestures. The rest of the game participants try to guess what their friend is portraying. The game is played against the clock!
What does the card game “Crocodile” consist of?
- 100 cards with words;
- 8 cards with tasks (complications and simplifications);

The cards are made of thick, smooth cardboard and are brightly decorated. Each of them contains 7 words (sometimes there are also phrases), which belong to four thematic categories:
Items (+ 3 points)
actions (+ 3 points)
abstractions (+ 5 points)
titles (+ 7 points)
Task cards are used only in team game. They complicate or simplify the players’ actions: for example, you need to explain a word while standing with your back turned, or, conversely, name its first letter. Additional points are awarded for successfully completed complex tasks.
Rules
The instructions detail the rules for different quantities players: you can play with your mother alone, or you can play with friends - each for himself or in teams. For team play, you need to draw a tournament table, an example of which is also here.
The most interesting thing is to explain words for a while. Determine it yourself: from 1 to 5 minutes.
General rules for all game variants
Can:
- depict the word with gestures and facial expressions;
- take any pose;
- name the category of the word being explained;
- show a phrase, breaking it into separate words;
- show on your fingers the number of words and the serial number of the word in the phrase;
- cross your arms if players say the wrong words;
- rub your palms together as a sign that the players are close to the correct answer;

- point to objects;
- pronounce words silently;
- draw what was asked (the only exception is if the player comes across the corresponding simplification card);

Complications
1. Close your eyes: the player explains the word with his eyes closed.

3. Make a word: the player must first imitate the word thought by someone from the opposing team, and then move on to the words on the drawn card.
4. Robbery: used only on someone else's turn. The team can guess the words of their opponents and get points for them.
5. Bet: used only on someone else's turn. If the other team completely completed the task (explained all the words from one category on their card), give them your 10 points; if not, take the same number of points from her and attribute them to yourself.
Simplifications

What does the game develop?

In this game you will find two types of cards: cards with words and U-cards (complications and simplifications). For the simplest version of the game, you will only need cards with words. Shuffle them and place them face down into the deck.
Main rules
By showing a word you can:
When showing a word, you cannot:
Every man for himself
Choose the player who will go show the word first. He draws the top card from the deck, selects one of the words indicated on it (it is better to start with simple ones, which are marked with a “+2” sign) and begins to show it to the other players using facial expressions, gestures and other body movements. While you are showing the word, other players guess it, expressing their versions out loud. As soon as the correct version is spoken (matching the word you chose from the drawn card), your turn ends. You return to the other players and will now guess together with them, and the player who guessed your word draws a new card from the deck, selects one of the words and begins to show it. After your word has been guessed, keep the card with words and don’t let anyone look at her. In the future, when you guess someone’s word and go to show it again, choose another word or phrase from your card. The winner of the game is the one who is the first to show all the words on the card he received.Team game
Individual play is good for the first acquaintance with Crocodile, but this game is truly revealed only in teams. By playing team against team, you will simply develop team spirit and learn to understand your comrades in one move. Only in team play: you will be able to count points and use U-cards that will help you and make life difficult for your opponents. If your company has more than six people, we strongly recommend breaking up into two, three, or even four roughly equal teams.Download cards for the company:
Main rounds:
- Warm up. As part of the warm-up, participants show cards with words, and the more they can demonstrate, the better. If the word could not be guessed, then the opponent’s representative says “next”, and the participant shows another card. The round lasts 30 seconds.
- Guess the song. Now one of the participants shows the song and characterizes its content. The round lasts 60 seconds, during which you need to guess the name and artist. 10 points are awarded for a victory.
- Difficult round. In a minute you need to have time to show a saying that your opponents guess in the same 60 seconds. If you manage to solve the problem, 20 points are awarded. There is one nuance: it is recommended that the person showing the saying with his hands wear a mask.
- Bouncers. How more people participate in the game, the more interesting it is. Both teams show their task with their hands (more precisely, one representative from the team). Whoever guessed first is the one who answers. The person showing whose task was guessed is eliminated. It goes on like this. The winner is the one whose team consists of two people when the opponent already has one left.
- Video round. You can demonstrate a TV show or talk show that the opposing team must guess.
