Elbow to Knee

Elbow to Knee
Needs a room

Pairs, and whatever two body parts get called have to touch. Then everyone swaps.

Pairs connect whichever two body parts you call β€” elbow to knee, back to back, foot to foot β€” and every so often you call for new partners and everyone scrambles. It gets a room laughing and mixing at speed, and stacking the calls means people end up tangled, trying to keep three connections at once.
