Ok, this is a game I made up when I was in Jr. High...^^ Here's how it works:
One person starts with a word, and the next person comes up with a word that relates to it. One word. It keeps going until you loop back around to the original word. Whoever closes the chain gets to start the new one! THE CHAIN MUST BE AT LEAST 7 WORDS LONG!
Here's a demo:
Giraffe
Giraffe>Spot
Giraffe>Spot>Dog
Giraffe>Spot>Dog>Animal
Giraffe>Spot>Dog>Animal>Giraffe
Now, obviously, that chain is too short. But it's enough to give you an idea of how it works.
NO repeat words!
NO words that don't really relate! (Warning glare at 3vil)
PLEASE do not quote the post of the person above you...that gets messy with this game.
[edit]SORRY! I totally forgot...this game was originally verbal, so homonyms are OK! In fact, they make it interesting. (A homonym is a word that sounds the same as another word, but is spelled differently and/or has a different meaning.) For the purpose of the forum version of this game, treat homonyms like this:
Pretty>Flower
Pretty>Flower/Flour>Bake
Using homonyms lengthens the chain and makes it take weird, interesting twists. ;P Feel free to use them. (If the homonym is spelled the same way as the original word, you don't have to use a /, just treat it like the version of the word you want to use, i.e: Business>Run>Race)
Ok, I'll start.
