Playing with words can be a delightful activity. With the addition of a single word, the meaning of many words can be transformed. For instance, by adding words after "time," you can get "time capsule," "time out," "time travel," or "time zone."

Have you ever wondered how many other words can take on new meanings when paired with another? Try our fun game to find out!

Whether you want to play competitively or not, you can do this in a group, as more people might inspire others to think of answers, or one-on-one.

Here's what you'll need to play the game:
1. "What Comes Next?" game (click the "Email Resources" button for the question sheet)
2. A large sheet of paper or a flip chart
3. Pens

Here's how to play the game:
Gather your group or sit down one-on-one and hand out the question sheet.
Explain the word game and give an example to start.
Write the first word on the paper or flip chart and invite the group to suggest as many words that could follow.
Some answers may be obvious, while others may be more obscure. Don't dismiss the obscure ones, though—have fun and encourage suggestions for why they might work.
Continue until you've exhausted all options and move on to the next word.
Keep playing for as long as everyone is enjoying themselves!
