Keep It Airborne

Keep It Airborne
Needs a room

An imaginary ball goes round by name. Then a second one. Then a third.

You throw an imaginary ball to somebody by name and they throw it on, establishing a fixed order β€” then you add a second ball, and a third, and the room falls apart trying to keep track. It teaches every name in the room without anybody noticing that is what happened.
