What you need

Nothing at all. Just the people.

How to play

  1. Stand in a circle; you may close your eyes.
  2. Anyone says "one", then anyone else says "two", and so on.
  3. No signals, no order. If two people speak at once, start again from one.
  4. Get to twenty as a group and you win.

Office tip: It takes more listening than talking, which is why it is such a good meeting opener.
