Category Chain

Category Chain
Remote or in person

Round the circle, one item per person. Repeat one and the category changes.

You name a category and it goes round the circle with one item each, and the moment somebody repeats or stalls you change the category on the spot. The changes come fast enough that the room never settles, which is exactly what makes it work as a warm-up.
