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 theme such as packing for a trip.
- The first player names one item.
- The next repeats that item and adds another.
- Continue around the circle, repeating the list in order.
- If someone forgets, let the group help and continue rather than eliminating them.
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 zombie survival, space mission, birthday party or Christmas themes.
Make it a great round
Start with an easy example so the group understands the pattern, then increase difficulty gradually.
Keep everyone comfortable
Invite players to pass or adapt the activity. Keep walkways clear and choose a seated version when movement is unsuitable.
