I once had a development game where the referees were instructed not to talk at all - the idea was that it would be good preperation for doing international games with a non-english speaking parter and team(s). Was a great learning experience as you had to focus on mechanics. I found it really hard, as I try to talk players out of violations/fouls a lot.
