How to play
The group counts upward around the circle — but every number containing a seven or divisible by seven must be replaced by "Buzz!" So: five, six, buzz, eight… thirteen, buzz, fifteen… Say the forbidden number, buzz at the wrong time, or stall and you're out, and the count restarts. When the group gets smug, add "Fizz" for fives at the same time and enjoy the carnage around thirty-five. A pocket-sized brain-melter for lines, bus rides, and restaurant waits.

Ball tunnel
Participants are divided into groups, placed in rows and with their legs spread. The first in line throws the ball between the legs of the other teammates to the last one, who runs to the first place and does the same. The group that reaches a certain line first will get a point. Play to ten points. Variation: it can also be thrown over the head. The more people, the more groups will compete or the longer the lines will be through which the ball will pass.

Password
Two teams, each with a guesser. Both clue-givers see the same secret word and alternate giving one-word clues to their own guesser: for "ocean" — "salty…", "waves…", "blue…". Teams alternate until one guesser cracks it, scoring more points the fewer clues used. Forbidden: multi-word clues, gestures, and any form of the word itself. The tension between a clue that's too obvious (the other team's guesser hears it too!) and too clever is what makes the game sing.
