A good team game to best players' memories of famous names in the world

of music is this Bec.

A culler is furnished with a list of musiclans (the follow- ing, or one similar).

Teams line up opposite each other. The culler reads a sur-

name to player No. 1 on team The player must give the musician's first nome or drop out of the game. In this case team 2 tries player No. 1 on to answer.

The game goes on in this way until all of the players on team have dropped out.
