Suffixes
| No. of Players: | 2+ |
| Type of Game: | written or spoken |
| What you need: | pen & paper or nothing |
Goal
To think of words that end with particular suffixes.
How to play
Players sit in a circle. The first player names a suffix like -ing, -ed, or -ly and the player to his right must say a word with that suffix. Then the player to his right must say a different word with that suffix, and so on. Any player who cannot think of a suitable word must drop out of the game. The last player left gets to suggest the suffix for the next round. The player who wins the most rounds is crowned the champion.
Alternatively, the gamemaster names a suffix and the other players have a certain amount of time to write down suitable words. The player who lists the most words becomes the gamemaster in the next round, and the winner of the most rounds is crowned champion.
This game is similar to Prefixes.
Example
The players agree on a five-second time limit for responses. Any player not responding with a suitable word within that time must drop out.
| Adelaide: | I'm choosing the suffix -ship. |
| Bailey | friendship |
| Christina: | worship |
| Daren: | township |
| Adelaide: | warship |
| Bailey | spaceship |
| Christina: | membership |
| Daren: | censorship |
| Adelaide: | dealership |
| Bailey | dictatorship |
| Christina: | relationship |
| Daren: | sportsmanship |
| Adelaide: | scholarship |
| Bailey | championship |
| Christina: | battleship |
| Daren: | Um... ah... |
| Adelaide: | Time's up, you're out... marksmanship |

And so on.
