Decide which player goes first and who is going second.

The first player calls out their first key word - these can be any random words i.e. car, bus, cat, window etc.

The second player must remember and repeat the word.

They then add their own key word, making a two word sequence.

The first player then repeats these two words and adds a third.

This sequence continues, adding a word each time.

The game ends when one player is unable to remember a word or gets the sequence of words wrong.

As well as shouting out the words, perform an action which represents the word.

Play the game using themes such as animals or coloured objects.

Each player says three or four words at a time instead of just one so the sequence gets longer, quicker.
