How it Works

You will need a tennis ball or a towel tied in a knot for this one. Everyone sitting or standing in a circle. You give one person the ball, and ask him to name as many words as possible that start with a 'P' (or any other letter), in the time it takes for the ball to get passed along the circle. Doubles don't count, obviously.

Notes

Tell players not to watch the ball go round when they're 'it' - they'll just panic and freeze. Tell them to try this with closed eyes.

Variations

Pair up the players and use a stopwatch. Ask the left players on the left to name as many words as possible starting with a 't', and ask their partners to count, for 15 or 20 seconds. Then switch.
