Ann Alaska Airplane
This game can be fun for all ages, the older the players, the more difficult you make the rules. The object is to make it through the alphabet as many times as possible with the phrase, "Hello my name is _____, I'm from _____, and I came here on a _____." For example, , "Hello my name is Ann, I'm from Alaska, and I came here on a Airplane."
You start with the letter A, and work your way through the alphabet so the next player to take a turn might say , "Hello my name is Bob, I'm from Britain, and I came here on a Bicycle." When the last player completes "Z" the game can continue by either starting over at "A" or reversing directions and going backwards at "Y". Either way, no one can repeat a person, place or mode of transportation that someone else already said.
To make the game easier (or sillier) you can allow the name, place, and form of transportation to be any character, real or fictional, any place, real or fictional, and anything that moves. For example , "Hello my name is Susie, I'm from Sesame Street and I came here on a Snail."
To make the game more difficult, or to practice other skills you can restrict any of the categories. You might require that the names must be famous leaders. You might require that the places must be foreign cities. You might require that all three categories must be from the 19th century. Depending upon the skill & imagination of the players there are endless variations.
