Stick Game
Each pair holds a short stick between the tips of their index fingers and moves through the room without dropping it — and if it drops, picks it up the same way. Swap who leads, then play again with no leader at all. Fun at the end of a night, the manual says, and a study in leading, following, surrender and control.
