Several of us have really been hooked on the abbreviation game and Julie, Harold, Trish & The Shepherds Abbreviation Game. In these games letters are given and we put what the letters stand for. The shepherds game has a loose plot or theme that we try to keep going. That's what made me come up with the idea for this one.
I'll gave five random alpha characters and the next person will come up with 5 items that start with that letter that follow the theme or question posed. For instance:
Name 5 fruits:
A W O B K
The next person would answer:
Apple, Watermelon, Orange, Banana, Kiwi
Then they would leave a theme or question and 5 letters for the next person.
Here we go:
Name items you'd find in a school room with the letters:
C E T D B
I'll post one so the game can continue.
