Just had this idea for a game and haven’t seen it here before (so if it has been done, I apologize!) but the premise is basically this: First person states a name that’s commonly spelled multiple ways; say, [name\_f]Sarah[/name\_f] (also spelled [name\_f]Sera[/name\_f], [name\_f]Sara[/name\_f], etc.). Second person answers with the way they would spell that name and then provides a new name of their own. If you’re not sure which spelling to provide as an example, use the spelling you’d use! Example: Poster A: [name\_f]Sarah[/name\_f]. How would you spell [name\_f]Elizabeth[/name\_f]? Poster B: [name\_f]Elisabeth[/name\_f]. How would you spell [name\_f]Kaylee[/name\_f]? Poster C: [name\_f]Kaley[/name\_f]. How would you spell…? And so on. I’ll start. 😊 How would you spell [name\_f]Elizabeth[/name\_f]/Elisabeth? ---
