Mum talking with his lips covering his teeth, as seen in Veggie Veggie game

Veggie Veggie

Nonsensical group game guaranteed to make people laugh.

  • Very playful & fun
  • Generates laughter
  • Sharpens listening skills
  • Circle game
  • No props

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Form a circle, including yourself.
  2. Each person thinks of a vegetable and shares it with the rest of the group (to ensure there are no duplicates.)
  3. Once started, all talking must occur with one’s lips curled over their teeth (so no teeth can be seen.)
  4. When ready, one person will call out the name of their vegetable twice, and then follow it up with the name of someone else’s vegetable twice, eg “PUMPKIN-PUMPKIN, TOMATO-TOMATO.”
  5. The person who chose the second-named vegetable, must quickly respond by saying the name of their vegetable twice, and then follow immediately with the name of another person’s vegetable, and so on.
  6. This process continues randomly among members of your group.
  7. Your group aims to maintain an accurate and steady beat for as long as possible.
  8. When an individual shows their teeth or takes too long to respond when it’s their turn to talk, the action stops.
  9. Once the laughter subsides, the neighbour to the left of the person who made the ‘mistake’ will start a new round.
  10. Continue play for several minutes.
