Word games
Synonym memory
Memory, the card game, but the pairs are words that mean the same thing. Office jargon makes great pairs.
- Players
- 2–6
- Time
- 10–15 min
What you need
- Sticky notes or index cards
- A marker
How to play
- Write 12 pairs of synonyms, one word per card (circle back / revisit, sync / meeting…).
- Shuffle and lay the cards face down in a grid.
- Take turns flipping two. A synonym pair is yours and you go again; otherwise flip them back.
- Most pairs when the table is clear wins.
Office tip: Keep the cards in a drawer; it is a ready game for the next slow Friday.
