- Difficulty
- ◆ easy
How to do it
- Agree on when to stop, e.g. after 5 rounds, and choose a starting player.
- The first player says: “I'm packing my suitcase and putting in a …”
- Each next player repeats the whole list in the same order and adds an item of their own.
- A mistake in the order or a missing item means a forfeit, being out, or a bonus task agreed beforehand.
Variations
- Add a gesture to each item that the next player has to copy.
- Forfeit game: each mistake costs one small item or task.
- Works well as a vocabulary exercise for language learners.
