Progressive Couplets II

[bluenurse]

This game is a fun way to exercise your brain muscles!

Say we start with the couplet "sunny days." Borrow a word (or part of a word) to create the next play.

You could play "sunny days --> night and day," or "sunny days --> sunstroke."

OR you could get creative (more fun!) and use a homonym (same sound, different spelling):

"sunny days --> dazed and confused" OR "sunny days --> Sonny Bono."

Or even reverse the spelling: "sunny days --> saleslady."

Be creative! Let's play!
