How to play
Split into teams of five to twenty. Call out an order and each team has to line up in it without saying a word. Gestures are fine, talking is not. Start with height, then move on to alphabetical first name, birthday ignoring the year, and shoe size. Once the group has the idea, get creative and try alphabetical by the last letter of their surname. First team lined up correctly wins the round. Check each line out loud before starting the next one, because that is where people pick up each other's names.
