What is the first sign in your home that Christmas is coming?

Before Everyone ArrivesYour pace

Either of you reads. One answers first; the other responds or shares an answer. Swap who starts on the next card.

Three cards. No sign-in.

How to play

Open on one phone, tablet or laptop. Either person can read; reading does not mean answering first. For two: one begins, the other responds. In a group: a volunteer begins, others join, and Round cards invite everyone once. Anyone may pass.

On choices, each decide silently and reveal together on three. For inventions, read the task and its finish; describe or imagine rather than perform. For a build, each offer an idea before combining two. Keep the device on the table; no answer taps are needed.

Leaving or reloading starts a new conversation. Spoken answers are not recorded.
