Last to First
No. of Players: | 2+ |
Type of Game: | spoken |
What you need: | nothing |
Goal
To think of words that begin with the last letter of a preceding word.
How to play
Players agree on a category like movies, song or book titles, countries, cities, actors, animals, etc. One player says a word that falls in the chosen category. The second player then says another word in that category that begins with the last letter of the first word. The next player says another word in that category that begins with the last letter of the second word, and so on. If a player cannot think of a suitable word within five or ten seconds, that player is out of the game. The last player left is the winner and gets to choose the next category, along with the first word for the next game.
Other variations of this word game include First and Last, Missing Middles, and Bookends.
Example
Audrina won the last game, so she chooses the category 'Animals' and says the first word.
Audrina: | Cow |
Belle: | Water buffalo |
Candy: | Otter |
Donnie: | Rhinoceros |
Evelyn: | Salamander |
Freddy: | Rabit |
Audrina: | Tiger shark |
Belle: | Kangaroo |
Candy: | Octopus |
Donnie: | Skunk |
Evelyn: | Kiwi |
Freddy: | Ibex |
Audrina: | um... |
Audrina cannot think of any animals that start with X, but the other players cannot either, so the game restarts and by default Audrina gets to choose the category again.
