🎲

****Group:** 6 to 15 · ****Where:** Indoors · ****Materials:** a coin, a table · ****Skills:** attention, observation

Everyone sits around a table in a circle, hands under the table. One person keeps their hands on the table. A coin is passed from hand to hand under the table while everyone says “grumble, grumble” (okay, the game isn’t exactly made for 18-year-olds, but with a bit of enthusiasm it’s a lot of fun).

Then the person with their hands on the table says “Stop!” and everyone has to lay their hands flat on the table without revealing the coin, which is now hidden in someone’s palm. The player who said “Stop!” may give two more commands. Then they get two tries to guess, first, who has the coin and, second, which hand it’s in.

💡

****Possible commands:** flat, fist, bridge, double bridge, bunny ears, and so on. Think up a few before the game and explain them.
