"Hi, I am Katalin the creator of creativity in Hungary. I am here on behalf of Expert Village. I am going to give you some tips for travel games with teenagers. There is a more difficult version of this game and it really, really needs your attention. So, you really need to pay attention really carefully, because, you actually play this game backwards. If I say a word, your child can say another word that ends with the letter that your word starts. Shall we give it a try? The first word is "word". OK, "word" and "window". "Bow" - "Grab" - "Bag" This is a very hard game because you really, really need to pay attention. So, as we played it like "word" was my first word and actually Barbara had to say the next word that was ending with my first letter, which was the "w". That is why she said "window". So, now it is my turn again and I need to say a word that ends with "w" and that is why I said "bow". The next time Barbara had to say a word that was ending with the letter "b", so that is when she said "grab". So, actually you need to think backwards. It is not so easy as the previous one, because it is quite straight forward that you need to follow the letter that you last hear. But now, you need to know the first letter of the word, and then think of a word that actually ends with that letter. It is much more difficult and it is more complicated. You really need to know the spelling for this game. If you don't know it, you can use a dictionary. Of course in a car it is hard, but you can give a dictionary to your child and while you are driving you can use the words. It is a fun game. You can actually make it even more difficult when you tell the number of the letters of the word and you complicated it like that. You can only say words that consists of between 3 or 5 letters, or only 5 letters, or less than 6 letters. You can actually set your rules. Especially if you go on a long journey, you have the chance to try out all of them."
