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 timeline criterion such as month of birthday, arrival time or when each person joined the group.
- Mark the two ends of the line.
- Let players talk and place themselves in order.
- Check the sequence together.
- Repeat with a new 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 a silent version or divide into teams and compare completion time.
Make it a great round
Use broad, comfortable criteria and avoid forcing anyone to reveal exact ages 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.
