Name Animal Toilette Paper
Otherwise known as name fruit ball is a game played by a group in a circle. The leader starts off by calling someone else's name in the group randomly, that person then calls out another person's name randomly and so on and so forth. After the last person has been call the group have to start again from the leader in order of the names that were called. Slowly the same is done with animals/fruit in a different pattern, and eventually a ball is introduced. The objective of this game is to manage each idea in it's own order as fast as you can without getting confused.


This game is very easy to get lost in because of all the madness, especially if you don't keep a level head. It helps you develop a sense of awareness as well as quick reaction. I found that after i got the hang of it, I entered my 'zone' where everything else became a blurred vision, and as self-centered as it is, everything involving me became the focal point. The game also helps develop listening skills for if you are to succeed you have to listen for your turn and respond correctly.

The Hat Game 
The hat game involves a much simpler concept. A pair is each given a wacky hat and the objective is for one of the pairs to take off the other's hat with as little violence as possible. The partner who succeeds in taking their opponents hat three times wins. The objective of the game I presume is to also create awareness, one must develop a sense of alertness so that their partner doesn't take the hat.


My experience with this game was much more settling. There certainly wasn't as much confusion as the previous game. I found that i didn't really enter the 'zone' while I was playing this game. Mostly because it was a one-one-one game so I found that my attention was more focused, than spewed in different directions like name in animal toilette paper. In this game it was more action than talking as well which also contributed to the minor confusion. But scored a moderate on the alert scale, because I was guarding my hat with my life!
