Wink Murder
A secret murderer eliminates players with a wink — who can spot them?
Builds eye contact, attention and dramatic performance — all wrapped in a game.
Instructions
One student is secretly chosen as the murderer. Everyone mills around making eye contact. The murderer winks at people — that person counts to five silently then dramatically dies. Anyone who thinks they know the murderer can accuse — but if wrong, they die too.
Classroom timer

Best used when
When students need to get out of their seats and interact but energy is still low.
Variation
The murderer kills with a subtle gesture instead of a wink — chosen at the start.
