*Last letter: Pick a category and each successive answer begins with the last letter of the previous answer (animals: bird, dog, goat, tortoise)
*Say the Same Thing: Each team says a single word with the goal of saying the same word. Say you start with “sausage” and “home” so the next word needs to relate to both. Maybe they both say “shop” (because a sausage would live in a shop). Game over. But maybe on round 2 one team says “shop” and the other says “fridge”…then for the 3rd word you’ll need to relate both the “shop + fridge”.
*True or False: make a statement and others get points for correctly guessing if it’s T or F
