> writer writes as fast as s/he can. The die gets rolled by the other group 
> members in turn until one rolls a six. Then the writer passes the pen to 
> the lucky roller and that person starts writing while the remaining members 
> start rolling again. You keep going until one person finishes the SM. They 
> read it outloud and everyone repeats it. Then you start again with another 
> verse. It's a fast and furious game. 10-15 minutes is plenty. Probably 
> it's best for groups of 3-8, so big classes might want several groups. We 
> liked to play this on our breakfast out days since we were sitting around a 
> biggish table. janet
