Okay, I'm blatently stealing this from tv, but it looks fun and easy. There is a new gameshow called, appropriately enough, Chain Reaction. Here's how it works: You have a word to begin with, and then say something that could be ADDED at the END of that one word to make a new phrase. Let me give you some examples:
book--shelf (person 1)
shelf--paper (person 2)
paper--plate (person 3)
plate--? (person 4 would fill in the ?)
See, the first word would be book, then shelf was added as the SECOND word. For the next person, they would take the last word, make it the first word, and then add a new ending. The game just builds and changes from there. Keep the second word from the post above yours the same, and just add an ending word to make a new phrase.
Make sense?? I hope so, 'cause I just made up these directions on the spot!!
Let's try this word as our first pairing.....
shoe--
Now add a new word as the next post to make it a phrase...Here we go!!!

Okay, it looks like you've stumped us good, Anna!
Should we try with a new first word, or is this game getting lame? Someone just jump in and start a new one if you'd like!!
