I've Never

by Tom Sirinides

Give each person ten beans (or ten pennies, or just have them hold up their ten fingers!). The first player makes a statement, like "I've never seen the ocean," or "I've never left the USA." (It must be a true statement.) Any player who has done that thing (that is, seen the ocean, left the USA) loses one bean or penny or puts down one finger. Continue around the circle until only one person has any beans, pennies, raised fingers left.
