Big booty
Big booty is a focus warm-up game for all players.
People get in a circle, with one member in the center.
Each person is assigned an identity. The first person is "big booty," the person to big booty's right is "Number 1," the next person is "Number 2" and so on.
Everyone gets a beat going by tapping hand against chest. The players begin by chanting, “Big Booty, Big Booty, Big booty. Aww yeah.” Big Booty calls out his name and someone else’s name, e.g. "Big Booty, Number Two," and the person called must then say their own name followed by another name, e.g. "Number Two, Number One."
After making a mistake, a player must replace the person in the center, and the person who was in the center goes to big booty's left. Some people may then get new numbers.
When someone gets out, the players chant, “Aww, shucks. Big booty, big booty, big booty, aww yeah.” And the game resumes. This version is continuous. There are no breaks and no gaps.
Alternate form: St. Peter, St. Paul
There is no one in the center. Instead, when someone messes up, they become the last person in the cirle and get the name "St. Fuck."
The first person is "St. Peter," the second is "St. Paul," the third is "St. John," the fourth is "Number One," the fifth is "Number Two" all the way till "St. Fuck."
Another alternate form: King Elephant
No one in the center; if you fail you go to the end of the circle.
Each person chooses their name (that of an animal) and some representative action. As people change positions, they assume new names and actions to suit the new position.
Yet another alternate form: Thumper
Like King Elephant, but use your own name rather than an animal's. And no one has to change position when they mess up. This version's really only useful if you want to learn people's names.
Even yet another alternate form: Cracked-up kumquat (aka Fruity message)
Each person picks a fruit as their name. This time, the added challenge is to play without revealing your teeth.
This version is worthy of note only because "Cracked-up kumquat" is scientifically the best name for a game ever.
