counting game

Sequential number activity

A counting game is a children's activity where players count in sequence, often with special rules that make certain numbers forbidden or require substitutions.

Players who break the rules are eliminated.

The category includes games like Fizz Buzz, where multiples of particular numbers must be replaced with words: We played a counting game where you say "buzz" instead of any number containing seven.
