"All great and honourable actions are accomplished with great difficulties and must be overcome with answerable courages."
-William Bradford

Group Game:
- Everyone sits in a big circle. Select one person to start. That person says: "I'm sailing to America on the Mayflower, and in my bag I packed: ..." The person then selects something that starts with the letter 'A,' such as 'an apple.' The next person says "I'm sailing to America on the Mayflower, and in my bag I packed a (he repeats what the first person said) and adds an item that starts with the letter 'B.' The game continues that way, each person repeated all the previous items and adding his item, working your way through the alphabet. If a person can't remember, or guesses wrongly, he steps out of the circle. The game continues until one person remains, or until the group decides enough is enough!
