How to play
- Pick a category, like animals or places, or allow any word.
- The first player says a word, like "cat."
- The next player says a word that starts with the last letter, like "tiger."
- Keep the chain going around the group. No repeats!
- If someone gets stuck for five seconds, start a new chain with them choosing the first word.
Tips & variations
- Keep it team-friendly by counting how long a chain the whole group can make.
- Write the chain on a whiteboard so kids can see which words have been used.
