First to return to the start wins.
<br><u>GAME</u>: Each player chooses words that add up to - say - 20 letters
and write them haphazardly. The other player(s) tries to
come up with words that use all the letters one time. (This
probably won't be suitable, since it can be played on any
piece of paper.)
<br><u>GAME</u>: Letters are filled into the boxes
on a field as shown (or some can be
printed, leaving only part of the spaces
to be filled by the players). Players in
turn connect the boxes to form a word.
A box can only be used once and lines
can't be crossed. Last to form a word
wins. As a variation, 3 lines can be al-
lowed at each box.
