Geo Word Game
Directions:
Here's a fun word game that uses the names of places. It doesn't take more than a good memory for geography, but watch out—the longer you play, the harder it gets.
The rules are simple. One player starts by saying the name of a place—town, city, state, country, and so on. Each player in turn has to think of a place name that begins with the last letter of the previous place.
For example, the first player might start with New York. Player two could say Kansas, leaving player three with an S. The game could then go on with Saskatoon, Nepal, Louisiana, Amarillo, Oregon, New Hampshire, Ethiopia, Arkansas, Santa Barbara, Anchorage—until a player gets stumped!
If your kids have fun with this game, you can try it with other categories as well, like foods or people's names. No doubt, the waiting time will be over long before you've run out of words to use!
