Global Pictionary/Charades

This is a game I came up with to play at my church's missions conference this weekend. (We played it last night, so I can share it with you now and not worry that I might give all the answers away to my church family!)

First, I've posted categories and clues and then I've posted the rules. Adults of all ages and children all played this game together...if the child was 10 or younger we gave them an animal clue, if they were older they played the other clues just like the adults. We had a lot of fun with this and I hope you will too!! (The seven countries represented are the seven countries that have missionaries my church helps support in them.)
