Never Have I Ever
Players hold up 5 (or 10) fingers. Each person in turn says something they've never done ("Never have I ever been skydiving"). Anyone who *has* done that thing puts down a finger. Last player with fingers up wins.

Top Five Rankings
Pick any category ("top 5 road-trip snacks," "top 5 Pixar villains," "top 5 breakfast cereals"). Everyone shares their ranked list and defends it. No right answer; the fun is in the debate.
