Equipment:
One pen, hopefully not permanent. Felt tips are best.
Some kids.
Everybody sits in a circle. The aim of the game is to get the least number of spots on their forehead. They get spots by making mistakes or being too slow.
Players get referred to by the amount of spots on their forehead, eg No Spot, One Spot, Four Spot or 12 Spot. Play goes round in a clockwise direction with players talking to each other with a set dialogue, eg
Player 1: Hi One Spot!
Player 2: Hi No Spot!
Player 1: Tell Three Spots (the player after player 2) that Five Spots (the player before player 1) said hi!
If player 1 or 2 made any mistakes (calling someone the wrong name, being too slow etc) the leader puts a spot on their forehead with pen and play continues with Player 2 starting the dialogue.
Player 2: Hi Three Spot!
Player 3: Hi One spot!
Player 2: Tell Four Spot that No Spot said hi!

Sounds like a sweet as game. Quick question though on how the game starts; do kids start off with dots on their heads or does everyone refer to each other as 'no spots'?
I've always started with no dots on their heads! The dots tend to add up pretty quickly though.
