mc5 - Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game

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.

A quick post - mortem:
I can't help thinking that if the original questions had been more generic, ie. Is it a vegetable product? Can you drink it? Is it savoury/sweet? Is it grown in this country? .... we might have got there a bit quicker without doing the rounds of various fruits... but hindsight is always cleverer, and besides - I knew the answer, as I suspect Darren did [but was holding back] :-)
