Get ready

1. Have everyone sit or stand in a circle or line.

How to play

1. The leader names a category, like "fruits," "animals," or "things in a kitchen."
2. Going around in order, each kid names one thing in that category.
3. If a kid repeats an answer or can't think of one in about five seconds, they sit out for the rest of the round.
4. Keep going until one player is left, then start a new category.

Tips & variations

• For younger kids, skip the sitting out. Just see how many answers the group can come up with together.
• Older kids can add a letter rule, like "animals that start with B."
