Silly Sentences is a game that Grandma and I like to play when we are in a mood to look at the world a little differently.
Rules (For two or more players):
- Pick a letter from the alphabet.
- Start creating sentences by using only words that start with that letter.
- Take turns, each person adds one word to the sentence.
- No word can be repeated within the sentence.
- All words must be real words found in the Dictionary.
- Youngest player goes first.
- Then next oldest, next oldest and so on.
- If you cannot think of a word that continues the sentence you are out of the game until the next round.
- The last person who has thought of a word is the winner.
Variations for older children (10 and up)
- You must repeat the sentence exactly and then add your word.
- If you do not repeat the sentence exactly you are out of the game until the next round.
Example:
Player one:
I pick the letter F. Foolish
Player two:
Foolish frog
Player one:
Foolish frog Fred
Player two:
Foolish frog Fred found
Player one:
Foolish frog Fred found five
Player two:
Foolish frog Fred found five fish
Player one:
Foolish frog Fred found five fish floundering
Player two:
Foolish frog Fred found five fish floundering forever
Player one:
Foolish frog Fred found five fish floundering forever fixed
Player two:
Foolish frog Fred found five fish floundering forever fixed from
Player one:
Foolish frog Fred found five fish floundering forever fixed from physical
— Because player one used a word that did not begin with the letter F player two is the winner.
— Also, if player one could not think of a word to add onto the sentence player two would be the winner.
