What is a ____ that starts with ____?

Here’s a brain-training quiz that you can enjoy with a large group as long as you have a whiteboard.

For example, let’s say you make a quiz like, “What are some ___ that start with ___?” First, you put a letter in the first blank.

Then you put a category in the second blank.

For instance, if you put “i” in the first blank and “foods” in the second, the quiz becomes: “What foods start with ‘i’?” Have everyone answer in turn.

If you say, “Let’s try to come up with 10,” everyone will think hard.

That’s what makes it a brain workout.
