How to run it

  1. Each person thinks of a vegetable and shares it with the rest of the group (to ensure there are no duplicates.)
  2. Once started, all talking must occur with one’s lips curled over their teeth (so no teeth can be seen.)
  3. When ready, one person will call out the name of their vegetable twice, and then follow it up with the name of someone else’s vegetable twice, eg “PUMPKIN-PUMPKIN, TOMATO-TOMATO.”
  4. Your group aims to maintain an accurate and steady beat for as long as possible.
  5. When an individual shows their teeth or takes too long to respond when it’s their turn to talk, the action stops.
  6. Once the laughter subsides, the neighbour to the left of the person who made the ‘mistake’ will start a new round.
  7. Veggie Veggie Silly group game that creates laughter through ridiculous speech fun.
  8. Veggie Veggie is a silly group game because the speech constraint makes everyone sound ridiculous, which immediately breaks down barriers and creates genuine fun.
  9. Ideal as a fun circle game, participants naturally let go of self-consciousness while trying to keep the rhythm of the game flowing.
