Game: Teapot Two people can play this game but it is better with more people.Ask one person to move away so that the rest of you can decide on which verb you are going to choose.Let's suppose you choose"sing".The other person can then return;he or she asks questions,replacing the verb with the word"teapot'.You answer them but you avoid using the verb you have chosen.For example: Friend:Do you teapot in the bath? You:Yes,sometimes. Friend:Do you teapot during meals? You:No,not usually. Friend:Do you enjoy teapotting? You:Yes. Friend:Do other people enjoy your teapotting? You:They pretend they don't.But I'm sure they do really! Questions and answers like these can go on and on until your friend discovers the word.
