Get Lost

Form trios and have kids introduce themseves.  Then tell trio members to alphabetize their first names and make the person with the name closest to A "get lost".  These people must quickly join different pairs.  The last person to reach a different pair and the kids in that pair are eliminated from the game.  Then instruct the new trio members to introduce themseves and tell each other when they were born.  Direct the oldest and the youngest trio members to tell the other member to "get lost".  Continue play with new criteria for getting lost.
