How to play
Have the group sitting in a circle on the floor and start by saying 'I'm going to an island and I'm bringing a...', filling in the blank with something starting with the first letter of your name. For example, Sarah could take sunscreen.
The next person in the circle then needs to repeat the phrase by adding what they would take, trying to work out the secret riddle. Once they have said what they would take, the leader says either 'correct' or 'incorrect'. Continue around the circle until someone guesses the riddle.
Lots of fun to be had by everyone, especially when they finally figure out the riddle.
