Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game
help
The chairperson selects an object/idea/whatever and announces whether it's animal, vegetable, mineral, and/or abstract. The others have to ask questions to figure out what it is. Whomever guesses the object correctly is given the chair for the next round; repeat ad nauseam.

Is it edible?
[Chalky] The rest of it is.
Is part the mineral metal?
Is the mineral part made of glass?

Actually, the whole thing's man-made, but the non-glass mineral component isn't.

Just checking :)
Is it bigger than a phonebox?
Is the Glass portion a container?

[S] I was there over Easter, and the words "culture" and "Blackpool" do not go together.
