A mix of charades and telephone.

For 5 players: The facilitator shows Player 1 a compound word (e.g. 'anthill'). Player 1 must act it out in pantomime for Player 2. Player 2 then draws what they understood for Player 3. Player 3 explains the drawing verbally to Player 4. Player 4 acts it out again for Player 5, who finally guesses the word.

The chain of translations — acting, drawing, speaking, acting — produces hilarious distortions.
