How to Play Disney Movies Pictionary
1. Divide players into teams. Ideally, each team should have at least two players, but you can modify this based on the number of participants.
2. Prepare the Disney Movie Pictionary cards. You can easily create your own or use this free printable. Each card should have the name of a Disney movie or a specific scene/character from a Disney movie.
3. Determine the playing order. Each team takes turns sending one player to be the “drawer” for the round.
4. The drawer from the first team selects a card and begins drawing, without using any words or numbers. Their team members must guess the Disney movie, scene, or character being drawn within the allotted time.
5. If the team guesses correctly before the time runs out, they earn a point. If they are unable to guess or if the drawer breaks any of the rules (e.g., speaking, using gestures), the opposing team gets a chance to steal the point by guessing correctly.
6. Rotate the drawing responsibility among team members for each round until all cards have been used or until you decide to end the game.
7. The team with the most points at the end of the game is declared the winner and earns the title of Disney Movies Pictionary Champion!
Modifications for Non-Readers:
If you have young players participating in Disney Movie Pictionary, you can make a few modifications to ensure they have a great time:
- Use simpler cards: Select Disney movies, scenes, or characters that are more recognizable to young children, such as “The Lion King,” “Frozen,” or “Toy Story.”
- Allow verbal hints: To make it easier for younger players, you can allow limited verbal hints from the drawer to help their teammates guess correctly.
- Increase drawing time: Consider extending the drawing time to give younger players more opportunities to express their ideas on paper.
- Play as a team: Instead of dividing into teams, have all players collaborate as one team to guess the cards correctly. This fosters teamwork and allows younger players to learn from older ones.
Prize Ideas:
To make the game more competitive, consider offering prizes for the winning team. Here are some ideas:
- Homemade certificate or trophy. This trophy from Mommyhood Life is adorable!
- A favorite dessert of their choice for the week
- Extra screen time for the week
- Disney character merchandise: Choose small Disney-themed prizes such as keychains, mugs, or plush toys featuring beloved characters from the movies from The Dollar Tree.
Remember, the main objective is to have fun and enjoy the creativity that Disney Movie Pictionary brings to the table. So gather your loved ones, ignite your imagination, and get ready for a memorable game night filled with Disney magic!
