Family Home Evening Game - Word Association

This simple game can be played anywhere and brings lots of laughs. All you need are two or more willing players.

Preparation: None!

Directions: Choose one person to go first. If you have more then one player decide the order each player will go in. The first person says a word, any word, which the next player must play off of by saying the FIRST thing, associated with the word, that pops into their mind. The next player (or the first player if there are only two of you) must say the first thing, associated with the SECOND person's word, that pops into their mind. You continue to play for as long as you like. The only rules are that you must say the first thing that comes to mind that associates with the previous player's word, and you CAN'T repeat a word that's already been said. That's it! You can play this game anywhere, such as on trips, while driving to do errands, or at home after Family Home Evening.

Example: There are three players. Player one starts by saying "Apple" and player two says, "core" which was the first thing that popped into her head. Player three says, "seed" player one says,"tree" etc.

Note: For a variation you can have the game end when someone's associated word is the same as a word that's already been said, and then start a new round, with each of the players in a different order. It might get confusing though, if you forget which words you said in which round.
