This game is really three games in one and can be developed over a few sessions to provide an increasing challenge to a group.

Layer one (Beginner): The group stands in a circle. The leader starts by saying the name of another player across the circle. That person calls out another player's name – and so it goes on until everybody's name has been called out once and everyone has called out a name. To make this easier you can ask each person to fold their arms after calling out a name so that it is clear who is remaining. Now see if the group can repeat exactly the same pattern a couple of times – all they need to remember is the name they called out.
