Protocol for Bookworms
All players pick a book and a kill word from the front of their book, players sing the first word on the book's first page. after all players finished singing this first word, they all turn to the next page and repeat the protocol.
The protocol is finished when one of the players reaches the end of their book, or when one of the players sings one of the kill words. In both events the relevant player signals the end.

Protocol for Nearsightedness
Players sit around a table. They close their eyes, take off their glasses and slide them to a random player. Each one wears the glasses they find in front of them when they open their eyes again. Players without glasses put on 'finger glasses'. When one player gathers all glasses the game ends.
Protocol for Interviews
Pick a random text in your field of view. Choose one random word and form a question for the interviewee using that word.
Protocol for Interruption
The players conduct an interview. Before the interview starts, the hosts pick a word. Whenever the interviewee says said word the hosts ask a new question.
