Pencil and Paper

Players : Any Number

Description :

Each player calls out a random letter of the alphabet until there are a dozen in all. The players then have 15 minutes to compose a message, each word beginning with the chosen letters and in that order. So if the letters shouted out were S.S.E.H.I.P.C.E.A.P.A.Z, the message could be SEVEN SWEATY ELEPHANTS HAVE INVADED PITCH. CROWD EXTREMELY AGITATED. PLEASE ADVISE ZEBEDEE. The winner is the player judged to have come up with the cleverest offering. An alternative method of play is to select a word from a newspaper or magazine and to build a message, each word beginning with the letters of the chosen word and in that order. Thus RESTORED could end up as RANDY EARL STARTS TO OGLE RETIRED ENTOMOLOGISTS DAUGHTER.
