    Games

    Word games

    From some words to others

    The presenter names ten words (nouns) and invites the players to rearrange the letters in each word in such a way that new words (nouns) are obtained from each word.

    Moreover, in each word, all letters must be used, without excluding or adding a single one. The player who gets the most of these words first will be the winner.

    Here are the possible variants of words with answers:

    Burime

    "Burime" in French means "rhymed ends". It is necessary to compose comic poems for given rhymes that are not connected in meaning.

    There are three rules for burime:

    1. Rhymes are chosen from words that are difficult to combine, unexpected.

    2. Rhymes should be varied.

    3. Rhymes cannot be changed in time and cases and rearranged.

    One of the players names any word, the other chooses a rhyme, based on the proposed set of rhymes, a poem is composed. One player can write, or several (each one line by line). The rhymes are usually the simplest ones. For instance: cat - compote, bed - jelly.

    Charade

    The charada is a kind of complicated puzzle. The guessing (original) word is divided into several parts (most often by syllables), each of which has its own meaning. First, a figurative description of the meaning of each of these parts is offered, and then - the original word. Charades are found in prose and poetry.

    Here is an example of a Russian folklore charade:

    My first from a whole will be born,

    but my whole is afraid of the latter.

    (Grape)

    Only in rhyme

    The first player names any word, preferably a short one. The second selects a word that rhymes with the first, the third adds his own word, etc. Anyone who cannot name a word in rhyme gets a minus. The one who has collected three minuses is out of the game. The player left alone wins.

    Here's an example of rhyming words: court - sport - board - lord - cake - etching - grade - record.

    The game can be made more difficult, which will make it more fun. In this example, nouns are used in the nominative case of the singular, but you can take all kinds of parts of speech, as well as try alone or together to compose a poem from the rhymes that were sounded.

    Synonyms, antonyms

    The participants in the game, under the dictation of the presenter, write down five words. For each of these words, players must choose one word that is similar in meaning to it (synonym), and another - opposite in meaning (antonym). The game ends after half of its participants have given the presenter their ready-made lists.

    The winner is the one from whom correct and complete answers are received. If the game drags on, the presenter limits the time to ten minutes. After this time, all the players give their lists to the presenter. Whoever has the most correctly chosen words is the winner.

    • each word should be composed only of those letters that are in the word;

     Monosyllabic words are usually not allowed to be written.

    You need to take some time to compose new words. At the end of the appointed time, the player who has composed the most words reads them out. The results of the game are summed up, and the participants can be invited to write a poem or compose a short story with the obligatory use of all recorded or named (if the game is played orally) words.

    If four players play "typesetter", then a word composed by only one participant is worth three points, composed by two players - two points, three - one point, and if it is written by all, it is simply crossed out (0 points).

    Puzzles, riddles, charades

    All kinds of puzzles belong to the drinking games, which are best done at the beginning of the holiday, sober. They can be included in the general competitive program or used interspersed with outdoor games. In any case, there should not be too many puzzles, as they quickly get tired. Moreover, there will always be the smartest guest for whom puzzles are like nuts and who will quickly seize the initiative in their own hands, because of which the rest of the participants of the holiday will lose interest in the fun.

    Metagrams

    A metagram is a puzzle in which the hidden words differ from each other by just one letter.

    And with "M" I am scary.
