Then your partner says your sentence again and adds another object or person: "I want to tell you about... a cool boy and a crazy weekend."

Then you add one more thing, then your partner and so on.

The game is over when one of you makes a mistake or can't remember the word chain anymore.

Then write down your word chain.

When you play again, don't use the same words / phrases again.

Suche dir einen Partner oder eine Partnerin, um dieses Spiel zu spielen.

Du sagst zu deinem Partner / deiner Partnerin: "I want to tell you about... a cool boy."

Dann wiederholt deine Partner / deine Partnerin deinen Satz und fügt eine weitere Sache oder eine weitere Person hinzu: "I want to tell you about... a cool boy and a crazy weekend."

Dann fügst du wieder etwas hinzu, dann dein Partner / deine Partnerin und immer so weiter.
