Directions

Person in the middle announces to the group a quality that they possess, that they would like to find in others. For example…"I am a twin." The leader determines who the first person in the middle is by picking at random or they could start themselves. When someone has a matching quality they race to find an open spot in the circle, including the person in the middle. When there aren’t any open spots the person stuck becomes the person in the middle. However if nobody has the characteristics called out by the person in the middle then you state another quality.
