Family Game - The Relationship Game

There is a game I have been playing with my kids of late. A family game sorts.

Does not need any equipment. Its called "The relationship game"

I really don't remember who taught me this or where I came across this for the first time. But i taught it to my kids and they love it.

• The first person begins by saying a word ...any word....its his choice.

• The next person needs to say whatever he can think of in relation to that.
• This goes on in circles for a few rounds.

For example

Player1	Player2	Player 3
car	road	black
night	moon	white
milk	butter	cake
birthday	presents	games
olympics	athletics	running
track	lines	geometry
maths	school	classroom
charts	colors	rainbow
sky	cloud	rain
water	sea	waves
beach	sand	castle
princess	tiara	jewellery
gold	mine	tunnel
dark	torch	switch

• After say 7 to 8 rounds the fun starts...We need to go in reverse. The last person will start recollecting what the person before him had said.

• For instance after torch in the above example, the last person finishes with switch. Then he starts the reverse process. He has to say what the person before him had said, i.e torch,.

• The person before him has to recollect what the one before him had said before that a.k.a dark.

• We try recollecting till we reach where we started.

Player3	Player2	Player 1
torch	dark	tunnel
mine	gold	jewellery
tiara	princess	waves
sea	water	rain
cloud	sky	rainbow
colors	charts	classroom
school	maths	geometry
lines	track	running
athletics	olympics	games

Try it....It keeps you hooked.

Its also a nice exercise to improve focus and memory.
