I like games. Here are some.

Theme Scrabble

Like regular Scrabble, only all words placed must be part of some theme. Marginal words may be allowed based on the cleverness of the justification.

In bed

It is common to append "in bed" to fortune cookies for the purposes of hilarity. ("You will meet a handsome stranger... in bed" "You will amass great wealth... in bed.") It works quite well on titles from my college choral library as well.

Some of the gems:

  • "Let All Mortal Flesh Be Silent"
  • "It Takes A Village"
  • "The Unknown Region" (which, unfortunately, was not in G...)

But my personal favorite was "What Is This Lovely Fragrance?"

The Game

You lose.

Words of one part

It is fun to speak in words of just one part. To play the game, just start to speak this way, and hint to your friends that they should join you. You can keep score or not; I have not found it to add to the fun. For more "points", talk to those who have not joined, and try not to let on that you're in a game. (As you play more, you'll learn ways to say things that will help you speak with more ease.)
