Buzz

Take turns counting to 100. But when you reach any number divisible by 7, say “buzz” instead of the number. For instance, say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, buzz, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, buzz, 15, etc. When you forget to say “buzz” at the appropriate, you lose and the next person gets to try. You can change 7 to other numbers if you want, and match them to the player’s ability level (10 or 5 for younger kids).

Wager

Each person wagers how many of an item they will see until the next landmark.
