Facts and a Flame

Give as many personal facts as you can before a match burns down.

Hand out a kitchen match to every person in the group. In turn have each person light their match and tell as many facts about themselves before the match burns out or burns their fingers. If your group likes a little competition appoint someone to keep score. Here's an example: "My name is Tami (1 point), I love to read a good mystery (1 point), my favorite color is purple (1 point). After every person has had a turn the score keeper tallies the points.
