How it Works

Yet another way to play association games. Place all players on 2 lines, facing each other. One player starts walking to another player in the other line. Just before he gets to that other player, he throws her a word. The receiver starts crossing the line towards someone else, and the first player takes her place in the line. The receiver now becomes the thrower, throwing the first word she can think of to another player, who then starts walking, and so on.

Variations

Try with 2 or more walkers at the same time. Many players, especially new ones, tend to find it easier to freely associate when there are multiple walkers: they feel less 'on the spot' (as no-one is watching them in all the commotion) and they don't really have the time to get in their heads.
