Supplies OBJECT THAT CAN BE HELD IN HAND AND PASSED AROUND

Stand in a circle.  Take an object.  Give it to the person next to you and say, “I (name) give this elephant to (name of recipient).”  That person in turn says, “Joe told me, Mark, to give this elephant to you, Bill.”  As it goes around the circle, the game becomes a way of remember names.  “Joe told Mark, who told Bill, who told Al, who told Bob, who told Jane, who told Mary, to tell me, Diane, to give this elephant to Luke.”
