and adds something that begins with “B.”]
4. The third person must remember what the first two people said
and then adds a “C” item.
5. Continue through the alphabet. If you complete the alphabet go through a second or third time, adding a new item at each letter to those previously stated before.
6. If a player can’t remember all the items, that player drops out,
until there is one player left. Award the winner!
Variation
The first player starts by saying, “At my Thanksgiving dinner I ate turkey.” Each adds a thanksgiving food. In this variation, the items do not need to follow the alphabet.
