-pronounce words silently, with just your lips;
-show individual letters;

Every man for himself
Choose the player who will go show the word first. He draws the top card from the deck, selects one of the words indicated on it and begins to show it to the other players using facial expressions, gestures and other body movements.
While you show the word, other players guess it by saying their versions out loud. As soon as the correct version is spoken (matching the word you chose from the drawn card), your turn ends. You return to the other players and will now guess together with them, and the player who guessed your word draws from the deck new map, selects one of the words and starts showing it.


Team game
Individual play is good for the first acquaintance with Crocodile, but this game truly reveals itself in teams. By playing team against team, you will not only develop team spirit and learn to understand your comrades in one move.
If you have more than six people on your team, we highly recommend breaking up into two, three, or even four equal teams.
Team play principle:
-teams take turns, each time sending a new participant to show the word;
-the team’s turn lasts exactly 1 minute, and the more words are guessed during this time, the more points the team will earn;
- only members of the team whose team player is showing the word can guess;
-the game lasts exactly 12 rounds, after which the teams count the points they earn and determine the winner.

Games are something that will always be in fashion. Both adults and children love them. When you get together with a group, there is always time for fun and board games. Now it has become especially popular. Hundreds of different tabletops are sold in online stores.

But what to do if you don’t have any at hand? board game? A list of popular puzzles that don’t require anything will come to your aid. If you search, you can find a huge number of games for the whole company. But “Crocodile” remains the most popular. Let's look at how to play this game below.

Universal

Probably everyone knows how to play Crocodile. This is a universal game. She doesn't even need a big company. If there are already three of you, you can cheer each other up by developing non-verbal thinking.

Psychology

The popularity of games such as Crocodile is largely due to our psychology. Even in kindergarten, we often played in groups, with friends, tried to copy someone and invent non-existent events. Even then, such games helped us develop thinking, improve speech, and improve memory.

If you think back, we often became teachers, doctors, firefighters and accountants. Besides these role playing games, we played “Broken Phone”, “Ring”, “Words”. We grew up, but our love for games remained. Of course, playing “Broken Phone” is already less interesting.

Similar entertainments were replaced by: “Mafia”, “Earthquake”, “Shipwrecked”. But these games often require a leader. He must monitor the entire process, compliance with the rules, and the movements of the players. At any moment, the host intervenes in the gameplay and prevents conflicts.

But it is not always possible to find a person to play the role of presenter. Perhaps there are not enough people in the company for one person to become a guardian. Therefore, we have to choose games in which such a person is not needed. And, if you know how to play the Crocodile game, then you understand that there is no leader there.

"Crocodile" also refers to psychological games. But this is the most harmless option. Of course, there are group therapies in which the trainer presents such a game as an identification of the participants' problems.

But if we are talking about companies, then “Crocodile” rather helps to have fun and unite all participants.

This is a pantomime game. The one who can easily win is the one who knows how to control his body and facial expressions, and also pays close attention to details. Many people underestimate this game. She helps adults express emotions and feelings through gestures. Therefore, “Crocodile” can be played not only by children and teenagers, but also by mature people.

Rules

Not everyone knows how to play Crocodile. There are several types of it. If we talk about the game as an associative puzzle, then the rules are more than clear.

Participants can be divided into two teams. The first one thinks of a word, passes it to a participant from the other team, and he, in turn, shows this word to his friends. He can use gestures, facial expressions to help his team, he can nod his head.

If the company is small, you can play against each other. In this case, the first player comes up with the words himself; when one of the players guesses right, he takes the place of the pantomime. He, in turn, thinks of a word for him. This can go on for a long time. You can play for points. It happens that out of 4 people only two actively participate in the game. The rest simply cannot guess the words.

Beginners

Some people immediately understand how to play Crocodile, but for others this game is very difficult. For beginners, you can use basic words. You can start with the simplest associations. For example, if you see a glass on the table, try to show it.

Then you can use abstractions. For example, show your friends the word set. If a company plays the same game computer game, you can show characters or artifacts from it. This is also always very fun and funny.

If an experienced team has gathered, you can take not only words and phrases, but also entire sentences. For example, words from songs or films.

In words

Trying to figure out how to play Crocodile with a friend, you may come across one of the varieties of this game. Interpretation can be based not on facial expressions and gestures, but on words.

The point of this game is to guess what your opponent is up to. But this is done a little differently. The person who comes up with a word divides it into several syllables and comes up with words for each that begin with these syllables. These nouns are called "tails".

Each of these words is shown through gestures and facial expressions. Players guess each “tail”, and then try to form the main word from it.

Varieties

Due to its popularity, this game has taken many forms. In addition to the classic one, which is used in companies, there are desktop version. In such games they use special cards and there is an hourglass.

“Crocodile” got onto our computer and phone. There are many apps that can help even two friends have fun. Plus, you will always have new words at hand.

For little ones

Many parents believe that playing Swampy the Crocodile is the same as playing a classic association puzzle. This is not true at all. For young children, the classic “Crocodile” will be very difficult. This is due to the fact that they are not so large vocabulary. Of course, you can play this game with them, but it is important to select very simple words that they know and encounter every day.

But playing the game “Crocodile Swampy” is a lot of fun. This is a small browser game that already has several versions. She tells a story about a cute crocodile Swampy, who loves to swim. But he doesn’t always succeed in this. The fact is that Swampy is the only crocodile in the sewer who loves cleanliness. The rest of his relatives can only cause mischief and harm. Therefore, you will need to help the green tidy take a swim.
