   Mark, I love this problem. I can see that the items you select for the categories could be half the fun … stuffed animals, something significant to the group … love the possibilities.
   just thinking through the option of using cards … could you even go for pair based on numeric value? I envision laying out 5 pairs of playing cards face down in the middle of their circle, number off the players 1 (ace) through 5, then ask each to draw 2 cards. So random … and what if they draw one of the cards they are assigned … given the rules of play … could be interesting dynamic. can’t wait to play.
   Any thoughts on how this could be played virtually?

     Hey Jennifer, great ideas to mix up the objects for this initiative. If you test out your playing card idea, let us know how it goes. Re virtual, I think using Jamboard or Padlet to simultaneously move objects on the screen could work. To this end, you’d have to set up 5 separate circles as your background slide, and then create 2 small objects for each person (total of 10) in the centre. Then play as usual, but obviously, all movements will be via manipulating the objects on one’s screen. Could work?
