Cost: nothing!
This game is a bit trickier than others but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun!
Everyone sits around in a circle and one by one comes up with an action or sign that is theirs and shows this to the group. For instance, it could be doing a wave action with your arm, but the more subtle the sign is the better, so signs like scratching your head are really good! Also, they need to be silent for the game to work so no clapping or funny noises unfortunately.
Then one person is nominated to stand in the middle of the circle. As they close their eyes, someone sitting in the circle is chosen (by silently pointing, not saying their name, so the person in the middle doesn't know who has been chosen!) to be the first player and have the control of the game. The person in the middle is then allowed to open their eyes.
The game begins when the first player "receives" the control of the game by doing their own sign. Then they have to pass the control on to another player by doing their sign (this is the tricky bit as you need to try to remember everyone/most people's signs so you can pass it on to them!)
But they must do all of this without the person in the middle noticing them doing it!
When someone's sign has been done, they automatically have control of the game and have to "receive" it by doing their action, then pass it on by doing someone else's and this process repeats again and again.
The aim for the person in the middle is to try and work out who has control of the game by catching them doing either their own or someone else's sign.
But when a player has done another person's sign, they cannot be caught anymore as they have already passed on the control and it is in the hands of the new person.
There is no limit to how many times a person can have the control, and the game can potentially go on forever if no-one is ever caught! But when they are found out by the person in the middle, it is then their turn to be in the centre of the circle.
Peace & Love,
