Place your objects around a tray. They should all be visible from a few feet away on either side.Advertisement

Tell people to look at the items. Set a time limit - say, a minute.
-
Have the players review the items for that them period. Then put a sheet over the tray so the items are not visible.

Give each player a piece of paper and a pen/pencil. Tell them to write down everything from the tray that they can remember.

Declare a winner. The person who remembers the most wins and gets something of their choice from the tray.
