The Sentence Game
Started by Mommy's HelperMommy's Helper
My siblings and I sometimes play this game called the sentence game.
One of us makes up a simple sentence (such as, that car is red) or something like that, and each of us adds a word to it until everyone (except the person who created the sentence) has added a word. Then we see what the finished product is. There are a couple rules though.
- You may ONLY add onto a word if you are making it a compound word. (You could not change the word car to card. You could change the word flash to flashlight.)
- You may not change any words in any way except the way I just said.
- Each beginning sentence must be a simple sentence with 6 words or less.
- Each time you add a word to the sentence, it has to (at least sort of) make sense.
- No one may add two words in a row.
- Each sentence must be a declarative sentence.
- Quote each person you are adding right after, but take out the in-between blockquotes. (shown in the sample comments below)
Okay, this is my sample sentence, to show how to quote. That car is red.

Mommy's Helper
That car is red. That slimy car is red. That slimy car engine is red.

Mommy's Helper
Uh… sorry if I was unclear. I meant you only get to add one word for each sentence.

Not sure if there are enough people playing this game for that to be practical. :P I think you should let people add as much as they want to a sentence, as long as they don't add two words in a row.

If you all agree, I think that's long enough.
(And by the way, Eirene, you cannot change a word in any way whatsoever except to make it a compound word. So changing shop-lifted to shop-lifting didn't go according to the rules, so just to try to remember. It's fine for this time though :D)

Oh okay. xP
