Alrighty... this is a game I used to play with my family in the car... something I randomly made up one day.
It starts with one person coming up with an animal in their mind... choosing one, rather. They keep that animal in mind and tell the rest of the group what letter it starts with... Ie: "I'm thinking of an animal that starts with the letter P"... Then the game begins. The rest of the group goes around guessing what the animal could be - one guess at a time and no one person can guess more than once in a row. If members of the group can't guess said animal they can either give up and ask the person what animal it was... or they can ask for a clue. Three clues may be given out at the most... if the group is still stumped they have to forfeit the round. The person who was thinking of the animal would then reveal what animal it was and choose the next person who will pick out their own animal. If the animal had been guessed, the person who guessed the right animal would then choose the next one. The animals must be real, but other than that there are no restrictions. You do not have to go through the alphabet in order, nor do you just have to stick with using up each letter once until the alphabet has been gone through... just pick a random letter and have fun. HOWEVER, it is advisable to not use the same letter two people in a row or two turns in a row (Ie: P1 chooses A their first time and then chooses it again their second time).
It is advisable to have your animal written down somewhere... email yourself, PM yourself... whatever... just have it somewhere where you won't forget it.
Also... the game is more fun if you don't cheat ((Ie: use books on animals, the internet, or other resources...))
((Bacteria, Protists, and such are also allowed))
Examples (I'll use five people):
P1: I'm thinking of an animal that starts with the letter P.
P2: Penguin? P1: No
P3: Panther? P1: No
P4: Preying Mantis? P1: ... No.
P3: Polar Bear? P1: Nope...
P5: Panther? P1: Yes. ^-^
P5: I'm thinking of an animal that starts with the letter ___!
Or if they weren't to guess it... and P1 gave out 3 hints then the next time they would reply with their answer...
Ie:
P5: Alright already, we give up! Right?
P2-4: Mmhm. -nods-
P1: It was a panther... -._-. P5 can go next!
P5: Alrighty... I'm thinking of an animal that starts with the letter ___!
If you ever want to change the category we could do that to, but animals tend to be the most fun. ^-^
