Summary
"Party Planning" and "Picnic Basket" are two sides of the same coin, both about suggesting items for an event. In "Party Planning," you and the ensemble offer things to bring to a party. "Picnic Basket" runs the same way, except now you're packing things for a picnic.
How to Play
- Set the scene: a party or a picnic.
- Go around, each suggesting something to bring to the event.
- Keep playing as the list grows.
Required Materials
- Nothing required, beyond the idea of a party or picnic.
Purpose
This kind of game sparks quick thinking, listening, and agreement as you build a list together. It also makes a lovely warm-up or just a bit of lighthearted fun.
