How to Play Name Slap

Players form a circle with one hand extended toward the center. Player Z stands in the middle.

A player in the circle calls out the name of another circle player. Before the named player can call out someone else's name, Z tries to slap their extended hand. If Z succeeds, the slapped player becomes the new Z.

The key is speed — the named player must call another name before Z reaches them. This trains quick reactions and name recall.
