Describe this trip activity or tip:
First player must think of an object that begins with the letter "A" and must begin the game with a sentence like "I am going to the store to buy an apple."

The next player must add an object beginning with the next letter of the alphabet (in this case, "B"), and would say "I'm going to the store to buy beansprouts."

Players continue to take turns adding objects to the list for every letter in the alphabet, and must recite the entire list as it grows. The player who can continue on the longest without forgetting an object is the winner.

Other comments or suggestions to consider:
This game challenges the kids' mental capabilities and can keep them occupied for quite a while.
