I pack my suitcase – this is how it works
If you are already sitting in the car, on the train or on the plane with your family, then your suitcases are already packed. No reason not to pack your suitcases imaginatively. One of the players begins by saying, “I’ll pack my suitcase and take my yellow excavator with me.” It’s the next player’s turn: He repeats the item his predecessor named and adds an item: “Me pack my suitcase and take my yellow truck and my polka-dot summer dress with me.” The third player’s sentence can then sound like this: “I’ll pack my suitcase and take my yellow truck, my polka-dot summer dress and my purple pony with me.”
The last person to say the correct order wins. For smaller children, it is advisable not to follow the exact order of the objects. In this way, the game can also be a lot of fun for them without being frustrating.
