Setup Instructions

1. Have everyone sit or stand in a circle.
2. Choose one person to go first.

Game Play Instructions

1. The first person says one word to start a sentence. For example, “The” or “A.”
2. The next person adds another word to the sentence.
3. Continue around the circle, with each person adding one word.
4. The sentence must make sense grammatically, but the meaning can be silly or strange.
5. Once the sentence feels complete, the group can agree to stop.
6. Start a new sentence with the next person in the circle.

Notes and Variations

• To make the game more challenging, set a theme for the sentences. For example: animals, food, or something from a Bible story.
• If playing with younger kids, you can remind them to listen carefully before adding their word.
• For extra fun, have someone write down the sentences or say them dramatically at the end.
• Make sure everyone gets a turn and feels included. Keep the focus on having fun, not on making a “perfect” sentence.
