How to play
An antonym is a word opposite in meaning to another word. A synonym is a word that means the same as another word. In this game, the first player will say a word and the second player will try to think of an antonym. The next player will try to think of a synonym to the preceding word. The next player says an antonym of this word. And so on: players alternate thinking of antonyms and synonyms. Any player that cannot think of an appropriate word in say, 10 seconds, is out of the game. The last remaining player is the winner. Note that it is best to use adjectives for this game.
Example
| Abraham: | FAST |
| Brenna: | SLOW |
| Cooper: | LEISURELY |
| Deborah: | HURRIED |
| Abraham: | HASTENED |
| Brenna: | um... (She drops out after 10 seconds) |
| Cooper: | DAWDLED |
And so on.
