Game of Many Things

How to Play:

Players stand in a circle. Each player raises their hand. In turn, each player makes eye contact with another player who has their hand raised. They say something that adheres to the chosen category (ie. each player says a fruit). Once the player has named something, they put their hand down.
- By the end of this, each player should have said a unique fruit to another player. Ensure everyone knows what fruit comes before them, and also which thing they say to another.
It is the responsibility of the person calling the thing to ensure the other player hears and responds to their call.
Once the first round is played a few times without hesitation, players again stand in a circle with their hands raised. A new thing category is chosen, and players select a new person to make contact with and name their new thing.
Now, players begin with the second thing category. Once this has cycled through without issue, begin the first category while continuing the second.
Continue with this process and see how many things can be named at once. Any category that would hold things, such as “Types of _______” can be used. The list below is a collection of suggestions.
