Packing the Suitcase games can turn a Zoom breakout meeting into an uproarious test of your team members’ powers of memory. This game takes no preparation, and your team can play as many times as they would like during the session.

For this game, player one begins by announcing, “I packed the suitcase, and in it, I put,” ending the sentence with the first thing they packed. Player two repeats player one’s sentence, adding a new item to the end of the list. Player three follows player two, with each player recalling the items in the suitcase in the order they entered the suitcase. The first player to skip an item or mess up the order ends the game.
