Shrinking Titles
| No. of Players: | 1+ |
| Type of Game: | written or spoken |
| What you need: | pen & paper or nothing |
Goal
To think of titles in need of a reduction in size.
How to play
Players think of song, book, or movie titles, etc., that have numbers in them. They then re-title these titles by reducing the number. For added fun, a sub-title, or some other humorous change to the title, can be included. If there is more than one player, players can vote on their favorite shrunken title. Alternatively, the numbers can be increased, in which case this game would be better called Expanding Titles.
