Set your timer for one minute uncover the tray and say 'go!' as everyone quickly jots down as many items as they can in detail before the minute is up. A point goes for each item they list and an extra point for detail of that item. Prizes for 1st and 2nd is a must! Have paper and pencils ready for those joining in
