ALPHABET GAME

THIS GAME IS PLAYED WITH ANY NUMBER OF PEOPLE. SOMEONE READS
A SENTENCE OR TWO, WHICH IS WRITTEN VERTICALLY DOWN A PAPER NEXT
TO THE ENGLISH ALPHABET. THUS YOU HAVE 26 PAIRS OF INITIALS.
A TIME LIMIT OF THREE MINUTES IS GIVEN TO THINK OF FAMOUS
PEOPLE WITH THOSE MADE UP WITH INITIALS. THE PERSON WITH THE MOST

HAS A DIFFERENT NAME FOR THAT COMBINATION.
