It's easy, just change one letter in the previous posters word. Or make an anagram of it. You can add or take away one letter unless you find an anagram. Anagrams have to be with the existing letters only. Like this. Goober. Booger. 8) Rules. Only one change per word. Don't add/remove a letter to make an anagram work. If you break the above rule you will be called a bad monkey. If you can't figure out a letter or anagram ...

Of course, be nice and follow forum rules. Sometimes it's harder than you think.
(And for example--since I'm the first poster and there is no above poster):

For this game, you name something...anything! The next person to post after you will reply by either stating "Thumbs up" or "Thumbs down". After they've answered, they also include another item to be judged by the next person! If you answer "Thumbs Down" then you must explain why you disagree... Have Fun!

Afterwards, be sure to leave a new 'dry' sentence for the next poster to recreate.

Here's my twist: Every time you take the object from the last person, as soon as it touches your hands, it must turn into something new and must be used by you somehow in your post. Also, given that this is a forum devoted to the improvement of writing, no one-liners like, "Bop you on the head, My Divine Object!" The idea is to be creative ! ! ! Edit ...

I saw it on another forum and thought it was pretty creative. It's designed to flex your writing muscles when under strain. Participants post 5 random words. These 5 words must be included in any story/chapter/scene that is exactly 100 words (please adhere to the forum rules regarding content). The random words can be pluralized, and verbs can be placed in different tenses, but you cannot change the part of speech! If the word has ...

The words may be spelled the same, such as rose (flower) and rose (past tense of "rise"), or differently, such as carat, caret, and carrot, or to, two and too. A homophone is a type of homonym, although sometimes homonym is used to refer only to homophones that have the same spelling ...

(Optional: If you'd like to post a limerick, it should have five lines and the rhyming pattern should be AABBA.) Example: The above poster chose Chip Clips as the next topic. Silly Eddy found some funny clips, Shaped like cute little plastic ships. He put one in a moat, To see if it could float. But all he got was a bag of soggy chips. Next topic: Oatmeal Word Games Mon, 09 Mar 2009 16:52:14 GMT http://review-group.forumotion.com/word-games-f5/random-poetry-or-loopy-limericks-t98.htm#954 http://review-group.forumotion.com/word-games-f5/random-poetry-or-loopy-limericks-t98.htm Three Parts of Speech Game. http://review-group.forumotion.com/word-games-f5/three-parts-of-speech-game-t121.htm Garmar The way this works is to find a word that is spelled the same, but acts as at least three different parts of speech. The twist is to use them all properly in one sentence. An example. Don't forget to plane the wing of the plane on a plane surface. Verb. Noun. Adjective. Extra points if you properly construct a sentence with more than three. Be creative and have fun!
