This is a name game where everyone sits on chairs in a circle. In the middle stands "the postman" without a chair. The postman "delivers mail" by saying, for example: "A letter from Lisa to Thomas". Both Lisa and Thomas must then quickly switch places, while the postman tries to sit on one of the empty chairs. The one left standing without a chair becomes the new postman.

Variation

The postman can increase the pace and deliver the mail faster to make the game more challenging.
