Office Break Games

Word games

First letter, last letter

Each word has to start with the last letter of the one before. Pick a theme and it becomes surprisingly hard.

Players

Time
5–10 min

What you need

Nothing at all. Just the people.

How to play

  1. Choose a theme: cities, foods, things in the office.
  2. The first player says a word in the theme.
  3. The next player says another that starts with the last letter of it (Oslo, Ottawa, Amsterdam…).
  4. Hesitate for more than five seconds or repeat a word and you are out.

Office tip: Words ending in E and Y will come up again and again. That is the trap.
