Frequently asked questions
What are funny Pictionary words?
They are silly scenes that combine two things that do not belong together, like "a shark at the dentist" or "a zombie doing yoga". They are harder to guess, which is exactly why they get big laughs.
Are these words family friendly?
Yes. Every prompt is clean and suitable for kids, teens and adults.
How do I draw a long funny phrase?
Draw the main character first, then the funny twist. Your team usually gets the first part quickly, so use arrows and gestures to push them toward the second part.
Can I use these for charades too?
Absolutely. Most of these scenes are just as funny to act out. Try them in a mixed round where players choose to draw or act.
