GA Russell Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Here's a game I found at Amazon. We start with a word. The next player names five song titles or album titles that include the word. Then he suggests the word for the next player. I'll start. The word is LOVE. Love is Just Around the Corner - The Four Freshman I Love You - Julie London Theme from "Love Story" - Tony Bennett Like Someone in Love - John Coltrane I Wish I Were in Love Again - Frank Sinatra OK, at this point I suggest a new word for the next contestant. And the word will be BLUES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
