Párame la mano

This is a game we used to play in school. I think in English it's called 'categories'. This is the way it works. There are seven categories:

1. Name
2. Surname
3. Country
4. Animal
5. Fruit
6. Color
7. Thing

Somebody calls a letter and everybody else has to fill in the categories as quickly as they can. They must write a word in each category that starts with that letter. The first person to finish has to say "Párame la mano" which means, "Stop my hand" or "stop your hand". In the in-person game, you then have to count your points. I thought we could adapt it here so that the first person to post their answer gets to call the next letter.

Here is an example with 'A':

1. Name: Andrea
2. Surname: Andrews
3. Country: Algeria
4. Animal: Antelope
5. Fruit: Apple
6. Color: Amber
7. Thing: Airplane

So just copy the template and write as fast as you can!

1. Name
2. Surname
3. Country
4. Animal
5. Fruit
6. Color
7. Thing

And the first letter is… ‘Y’.
