How to play:

  • One person, the chosen ‘it’, starts the game by thinking of a word.
  • He/she will then start giving hints about the word, one at a time, by saying words associated with it, e.g. if the word is ‘kitchen’, the hints can be ‘sink’, ‘fridge’, ‘basin’, ‘cabinet’, etc.
  • The first person to guess the word correctly wins.
  • The game continues with another participant taking a turn to be the ‘it’.
  • Some other examples:
    • ‘van’ – ‘engine’, ‘company’, ‘wheels’, ‘goods’ …
    • ‘clothes’ – ‘button’, ‘shirts’, ‘pants’, ‘tie’, ‘shorts’, ‘singlet’ …
    • ‘fountain’ – ‘water’, ‘pour’, ‘music’, ‘flowing’, ‘bubbles’ …
    • ‘flag’ – ‘country’, ‘symbol’, ‘cloth’, ‘pole’, ‘United Nations’ …
    • ‘house’ – ‘building’, ‘home’, ‘family’, ‘roof’ …
    • ‘bed’ – ‘pillow’, ‘sleep’, ‘mattress’, ‘sheets’ …
  • To avoid wild guesses, give every participant one or two guesses, after which he/she is banned from guessing.
