One player volunteers to be the leader and stands in the middle. Then everyone in the circle, going clockwise, takes a turn calling out his or her first and last name.
Each person tries to remember the name of the player on the right and left. Then the leader suddenly points a finger at a player - say Stan - and says slowly, "ZIP - one, two, three, four, five." At this Stan must answer by giving the full name of the player to his left. If the leader said, "ZAP - one, two, three, four, five," Stan's answer must be the name of the person to his right. If Stan doesn't give the answer before the count of five, then he has missed and becomes "It," while the previous "It" takes Stan's place in the circle. If Stan gives the right name before the count of five is reached, then "It" remains where he or she is and points to another player. Make it very clear that "ZIP" means the person to the left and "ZAP" is for the person to the rightlongest wins. |
