The Letter Game


The Letter Game - 8 yrs. +,  for ~6-10 people,  Loads of Laughs!



The Letter Game
Object of the game:  All players will write and receive letters.  They will be mixed up and crazy.  And the more creative the responses the more laughs there are.
~6-10 players   Ages 8+

Everyone gets a paper (1/2 sheet copy paper works) and a pencil.  Sit around a table.  At the top of your paper write:  Dear _____________,  (your name)
Fold the top of the paper down far enough to cover the writing.  When everyone is ready pass the papers 2 to the right or some other random amount.  After each section of the letter, fold and pass again, something like 3 to the right or 1 to the left or whatever mixes it up well.

These are the letter sections:
Dear ________________,  (I mentioned this one earlier.)
Remember when __________________________.  Write the statement and finish by filling in the blank with your own creative genius.
What I like about you _____________________________.  Finish same as before.
What I don't like about you __________________________.  Since you don't know who's paper you have it can't be taken too personal.  It is nice to encourage the letter writers to give their answer a twist toward a positive or ridiculous slant.  For example "What I don't like about you is that your teddy bear is always in my laundry basket" or "You always beat me at double dutch".
The saying that reminds me of you is __________________________.  i.e. " One Eyed one Horned Flying Purple People Eater".

And last, write a closing.   These can be as silly as you want, for example;  Sincerely yours till the cows come home,.  
Sign your name. Open the letter and pass it to the person who's name is on top.  Take turns reading the letters aloud.
