How to play
Deal the whole deck out. Players take turns discarding cards face down while announcing them in rising order: "two threes," "one four," "three fives." The catch — you may lie. Any player who suspects a lie calls "Cheat!" and flips the discarded cards: if the claim was false, the liar picks up the entire pile; if it was true, the accuser does. First player to empty their hand honestly (or dishonestly) wins. A brilliant introduction to bluffing for family groups.

Clap Pass
The group stands in a circle and sends a single clap around it: you turn to your neighbor and you both try to clap at exactly the same instant, then they turn and pass it on. Once the group can send it around smoothly, chase speed records with a stopwatch, reverse direction mid-flow when someone claps twice, or send two claps racing opposite ways to collide. It sounds trivial — until you feel a thirty-person circle click into one shared rhythm.

The corners
The members hold hands and spin as fast as possible counting: 10, 20, 30, 40, until they reach 100. When they let go, each of the people has to reach a base that is located in different areas of the space where they play (it is important that each base has a good distance from the others, NOT TOGETHER). There is always one base less than the number of people (for example, if 5 people are playing there must be 4 bases). The remaining one (without base) remains in the center. The game consists of those on the bases having to exchange them in pairs and whoever is in the center taking advantage of the opportunity to take over a base. Whoever loses the base remains in the center and the situation repeats itself. When one of the people loses their base 3 times, they are eliminated.
