How to play
One player is a distinguished foreign visitor who speaks only gibberish — confident, expressive, utterly meaningless syllables. Their partner is the official translator, rendering each passionate outburst into English for the audience: press conferences, cooking demonstrations, and campaign speeches all work beautifully. The comedy lives in the gap: a two-minute emotional gibberish monologue translated as "No," or one syllable translated into an elaborate policy platform. Swap pairs often, and let the audience supply the topics.

Desert Island
The scenario: you're stranded on a desert island and may bring only three items. Each player reveals their three choices and defends them — is a knife smarter than a satellite phone? Is a guitar a waste or the key to sanity? For a team-building twist, have small groups negotiate a single shared list of five items, forcing debate about what actually matters. There are no right answers; the reasoning people give quietly reveals how they think and what they value.

Birdie on a Perch
Players should pair off into partners (girls with girls and guys with guys is usually better). One player will be the birdie and the other will be the perch. All of the perches make a circle and walk counter-clockwise. While all of the birdies make a larger circle around the perches and walk clockwise. After a few seconds call out "Birdie on a Perch!" and the partners must find each other and the birdie must jump onto the back of the perch. The last pair to find each other is out. Continue until there is only one pair left. For a bit of your own entertainment, call out different walks for the players to do. Such as: walk like a bird, a ballerina, run way model, ninja, etc.

Tic Tac Toe Relay
Mark a tic-tac-toe grid on the floor with tape and split into two teams — one is X, the other O — each armed with three markers of their own (plastic cups and paper plates work well). Relay-style, one player from each team races out and places one marker, then runs back to tag the next runner. Once all three markers are down, runners move one of their existing markers per turn instead. First team to get three in a row scores the point; reset the grid and race again to a target score.
