go round

Visit each person

Go round means to move in a circular path or rotation: The Earth goes round the Sun.

It also means to circulate or spread: A rumor is going round the office.

When something goes round, there's enough of it to be shared among everyone present: Is there enough pizza to go round?

In British usage, to go round to someone's place is to visit them.

Also spelled *go around*, which is more common in American English.
