About the game
Word chain (also known as grab on behind, last and first, alpha and omega, and the name game,) is a word game in which players come up with words that begin with the letter or letters that the previous word ended with. A category of words is usually chosen: an example chain for food would be soup, peas, sugar, rice.
The game has a time limit such as five seconds, and words may not be repeated in the same game. The version of the game in which countries, cities, states, rivers, lakes, or capitals are used is called geography, and a generalized version with place names is called atlas.
The game is used as a tool for teaching English as a second language and as a car game.More from (Self-Published)
