Did you ever find the actors you needed?

Haven't played LRC in years but that's a classic and very do-able. Bananagrams is a family standard and I know my niece has it and could bring it for their visiting time. The only problem with card games is remembering the rules! Not sure where all our decks went...... I'm sure I moved at least one. I used to love Heads Up! Forgot all about it but it's time to get it again.Amazon has newsprint pads so that's perfect for Pictionary. Great ideas one and all - thank you!

A game my wife's family plays, that they call "Celebrity", works well for large groups. The game starts with each and every player writing 5 or 6 answers on small pieces of paper. They can be the name of a famous person, or really almost anything: an animal, a well-known short phrase, an obscure object. These pieces are then folded and placed in a large bowl. The large group is divided into two groups and they sit in alternating fashion around the room. In the first round a player from team one starts and is given a minute to try to get his/her team to guess as many answers as possible, by giving clues similar to "password". For each correctly guessed clue the team gets a point, and those answers are set aside. If the team doesn't correctly guess one, it is returned to the bowl. Then the next player (from team two) does the same. This continues until the bowl is empty. Then all of the answers are returned to the bowl, and whomever is next takes their turn, except now instead of giving clues like "password" that player must perform the answer following the rules of "charades" and still have 1 minute to get the rest of their team to guess as many as possible. The charades round continues until once-again the bowl is empty, then all of the answers are returned to the bowl, and the third round starts with the next player. In the third round, the clue-giver is only allowed to give a single, carefully-chosen, word as a clue. At first this might seem far too difficult, but given that all of the possible answers have already been heard twice, it actually can go quite quickly. So if only one of the possible answers is a President, giving the clue "President" should be enough,
