         Twelve days of Christmas
 
 
At least 12 people sit in a circle. Take turns in singing a verse of The Twelve Days Of Christmas. Each person had to add a new line and remember all that went before. When someone makes a mistake they are out. Keep going on and on, until there is one person left. This person wins a prize.
