Describe this trip activity or tip:
Taking turns, the first player begins with A. He/she says a name that begins with that letter, then states where they are from that begins with the same letter and what they do, which also begins with the letter. For example, the first player may say "Hi, my name is Annie, I'm from Alabama, and I grow Apples." The next player has B and so on.
These can get very funny, just wait until you meet someone like, "Ullalah, from Uragua, who raises Unicorns!"

Other comments or suggestions to consider:
For the "names" area we allow girls to use boys names and vise versa. For the "I live in" area we allow, cities, states and countries. For the "occupation" area we allow growing, raising and making. It can really be interesting to see how much your kids really know. Younger children can be given beginning sounds for their letters.
