Where the other categories ask you to guess nouns, this one asks for actions. That requires a different kind of thinking and a lot more movement. Dancing, swimming, sleeping, running, all of them are physical and all of them are funny.
Verbs are especially valuable for language learning, since they carry the backbone of a sentence. If you play in a second language, this is the category where the words stick hardest.

Frequently asked questions
Do you need space for it?
Enough room for the person acting to move helps. This is the one category that is harder to play in a car.
Why is it good for language learning?
Because it is built on verbs, and verbs carry every sentence. Learned alongside a picture and a movement, they stay put much longer.
