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 category such as things at the beach.
- Go around the group; each player gives one new valid answer.
- Allow about five seconds for each response.
- If someone repeats an answer or gets stuck, let that player choose the next category instead of sitting out.
- Start a fresh round with the new category.
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
Use alphabet answers, team play, themed categories or a three-second speed round.
Make it a great round
Choose broad categories first, then make them narrower once the group understands the pace.
Keep everyone comfortable
Invite players to pass or adapt the activity. Keep walkways clear and choose a seated version when movement is unsuitable.
