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 criterion such as birthday month, height or alphabetical first name.
- State whether speaking is allowed.
- Start a timer if desired.
- Players arrange themselves into one line.
- Check the order together and 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 silent mode, team races or a 60-second target.
Make it a great round
Avoid criteria that require exact age, income or other sensitive data.
Keep everyone comfortable
Invite players to pass or adapt the activity. Keep walkways clear and choose a seated version when movement is unsuitable.
