    Any number of people can play this game. One person gets a book, and writes down "Birds Beasts Fish and Flowers" and they chose out a name of a bird. Write down the first letter and the last and put "x" for the other letters. Whoever guesses it gets a mark. Then the first and last letter of a beast is written. Next the name of a fish. And then the name of a flower, and so the game goes on. At the end the marks are counted up and whoever has the most wins the game.
