As in life, our choices and actions lead one to another. The question we are faced with on a daily basis is HOW WILL WE REACT? As with this game, one word leads to another. In life, we are given a lot of trials or tests. The version I have explained here is a simplified version of the actual game show. (You can set the winning number to higher or lower depending on how long you want the game to last)Ĭlick HERE to watch the TV game show Chain Reaction to get an idea of how to play. (Many times a timer is not needed if it is said beforehand that they need to quickly guess the word as soon as you have added a letter to the board) They only have 10 seconds to make a guess. Once you put a letter on the board, start a 10-second timer. If the team is incorrect or gives no guess, it then becomes the other team’s turn. If the last letter is all that is left and they ask for a letter for that word, that team will get no letter and will only get a chance to guess the word.Ī correct word guessed, wins the team a point and they can continue calling for another letter and guessing a word. If only one person is allowed, then rotate around so each person on each team gets a turn at some point in the game. It is optional whether you decide to have the whole team work together to call for a letter and guess a word OR only one person from each team is allowed to call for a letter and guess a word at a time. When the team asks for a letter in a word, you will write the next letter in that word on the board. Starting with the team that goes first, each team’s turn consists of calling for one letter in the next word above or below one of the already revealed words and then guessing the word. Write the first word of the chain and the last word of the chain on the board with 5 lines in between like this: OR you can play it this way with two larger groups playing against each other.įlip a coin to see which team goes first or have someone from each team pick a number from 1-10 and the one that gets closest to the number you were thinking of gets to go first. This way also works great if you have a larger group of people and want to call upon 4-6 players (2-3 people on each team) to the front to play and the rest of the group just watches. For this way, you will need a chalkboard or whiteboard to play. Then call up another person from each team to compete against each other and so forth.ģ. Whichever person puts the chain reaction together first, their team gets a point. Give them both an envelope with the same number one the outside (so they have the very same chain reaction they are trying to solve). Have one person from each team compete against each other at a time. So you’ll have two envelopes with a #1, two envelopes with a #2 and so forth. To keep track of which chain reactions in which envelopes are the same, number the envelopes giving the chain reactions that are the same, the same number. The only difference is this time you now have 2 copies of each chain reaction instead of just one. Cut them into word strips and put them in envelopes as described above in number one. *This is the quickest way to play the game if you don’t want it to take up much time and want to quickly play the game and give the analogy at the end.Ģ. (So 1 complete chain, a total of 7-word strips, is in each envelope) Give everyone an envelope and when you say GO everyone quickly opens their envelopes and puts their chain reaction together. See how fast each person can complete their chain reaction. Cut up each set of chain reactions into word strips, putting each chain reaction into a separate envelope. Whichever way you decide to play, be sure and explain to all the players that they are basically connecting two-word phrases together and give them the example I gave above.ġ.
