The leader names a famous person, such as George Bush. The next player uses the first initial of the last name (B) to start the first name of his person, Barney Rubble. The third player then comes up with an “R” name, Rosie O'Donnell. Just like “Famous People,” you should agree on the rules first.

For some variations, try playing the “Geography” version. In “Geography,” the last letter of the first word gives you the first letter of the next word. For example, Paris, then San Diego, then Ontario. To keep the game really moving, reverse directions if the first and last letters are the same (as in Ontario).
