Try this fun memory game!
The first person says, "I'm taking a trip and I’m going to pack my _________________" filling in the blank with anything they would take on a trip, like shirt, pants, teddy bear, toothbrush, swim goggles, etc.
Each person repeats what the last person said, adds their own item, and so on.
