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.
- Give a criterion such as birthday month, height or alphabetical first name.
- Tell players they may gesture but not speak.
- Start the timer.
- Players organize themselves into one line.
- Check the order together and try 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
Use two teams, no hand gestures, or a 60-second challenge.
Make it a great round
Avoid criteria that require private information such as income or exact age.
Keep everyone comfortable
Invite players to pass or adapt the activity. Keep walkways clear and choose a seated version when movement is unsuitable.
