When the object is communicated so that the team guesses it exactly, the next player is sent to receive the next word. As each new person approaches the leader he calls off his number and and the leader whispers the word on the list that corresponds with his number. The race continues until one team has guessed the entire list. This game originated in work with the National Theater of the Deaf. The entire group stands in a circle.
Any player begins by pointing to any other player in the group.
The player pointed to must acknowledge the point by nodding . The first player may then walk across the circle toward the second player. Before the first player reaches the spot, the second player must vacate the spot by pointing to a third player and receiving a nod. If he receives a shake he must immediately find someone else until he gets the nod. This heightens the risk factor of the game.
