Word Chain

Indoor games
  • 5–12 years
  • 15 min
  • on the road

Every new word has to start with the letter the last one ended on: cat, tiger, rabbit, tortoise. Nothing to hold and nothing to spill, so it works in a car or in a long queue.

What you need

  • Nothing to carry
  • A category everyone agrees on

How to play

  1. Agree on a category first: animals, food or towns.
  2. Say the opening word and stretch the last letter out so everybody hears it.
  3. Let the next player answer with a word starting on that letter.
  4. Give a stuck player a hint instead of a penalty.
  5. Ban words that have already been said and keep the chain moving.
  6. Start a fresh chain in a new category when it stalls.
