Table Topics
Mind-stretching brain games and conversation starters. It's the perfect opportunity for sharing stories, building knowledge, strengthening character, and having fun!

Draw world maps from memory
Player one names an animal. (Let's start with elephant.)
Player two must name a different animal that starts with the last letter of the previously named animal. (Turkey comes to my mind.)
Player three continues by naming an animal whose name begins with the last letter of that animal. (Yak starts with the letter "Y", can you think of any others?)
And on and on you go!
I don't know which letter falls in the middle of hippopotamus. Don't ask me!
