Get set up
No equipment is required. Gather the group where everyone can hear the explanation and demonstrate one sample turn before starting.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Choose a comfortable criterion such as birth decade, birthday month or distance traveled.
- Mark the two ends of the line.
- Players talk and arrange themselves in order.
- Check the sequence together.
- Repeat with another criterion.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Try silent mode or split into branches of the family and compare times.
Make it a great round
Avoid forcing anyone to state exact age or private milestones.
Keep everyone comfortable
Invite players to pass or adapt the activity. Keep walkways clear and choose a seated version when movement is unsuitable.
