TELEGRAM.Provide the players with pencil and paper. Each one then writes on
his piece of paper ten letters of the alphabet in any order, using no
letter twice. The papers are then passed to the right and each one is
requested to write a telegram, using the ten letters for the beginning
of the ten words, just in the order given. The papers are then passed
again and the telegrams are read aloud. Some will be very amusing.
Examples--
A. E. F. J. K. L. N. O. P. T. Am ever frightfully jealous. Keep
lookout now on Pa's tricks.
C. B. D. W. G. H. S. I. M. Y. Come back. Down with Grandma. How shall
I meet you?
