Pot Buzzer

Buzzers of all different kinds are great. They're useful in a variety of games - trivia, name that tune, etc.

One idea is to give each kid involved in a game a wooden kitchen spoon and have a leader sit in front of them holding a pot on his or her head. When the kid knows the answer, he or she buzzes in by slamming the spoon on the pot. First to buzz gets to answer the question.

Kids love inflicting pain on their leaders, so this works great.
