Set Up

This game can be difficult to get the hang of, but is very funny once you do

How to Play

  • All objects will be passed to the right. There is a series of exchanges that need to occur before the object can be passed from one person to another.
  • The person with the object (Player 1) turns to the person on their right (Player 2) and says,
    • Player 1, “This is a pencil.”
    • Player 2, “A what?”
    • Player 1, “A pencil.”
    • Player 2, “A what?”
    • Player 1, “A pencil.”
    • Player 2, “Oh, a pencil.”
  • The object can then be passed. This exchange must be completed for each item to be passed.
  • Start different objects in different parts of the circle to add to the challenge. If you are good, you can pass an object at the same time as you are receiving an item.
