Alphabet conversation Print

Have a conversation where each sentence begins with the next letter of the alphabet. This may seem difficult at first, but improves with practice. It’s a good idea to set a situation before you begin. You can also use sounds to start a sentence, for example “Mmmm” or “tut-tut”. Can be played in pairs or small groups. Here is an example:

A: Anyone seen my cat?
B: Black one, with funny eyes?
A: Can’t say I remember.
B: Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten what it looks like?
A: Every cat looks the same to me.
B: Fortunately, I found one yesterday
A: Gee, that’s great…

  • You could also try starting somewhere in the middle of the alphabet. Then when you reach “Z”, return to “A” until you arrive back where you started.
  • You can combine this technique with One word stories.
  • It's great for car journeys too!
