<p>A few years summers ago, Aunt Bonnie taught us the game "Dictionary".  We laughed so hard while playing that we nearly...you know.  We STILL recycle our inside joke about "canaliculus".  That night, special beverages were involved.  I'll let you leave the rest to your imagination. </p>

<p>On Day 93, children were present, so this version was PG.  Here's how you play:</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p><strong>Materials:</strong>  Dictionary, many slips of paper, pens. </p>

<p>The more players, the merrier.  We played with 8. </p>

<p>The person who is "It" looks up a word in the dictionary that s/he is confident that no one knows.  S/he pronounces the word and tells if it is a noun, verb, etc. </p>

<p>"It" writes the real word on a slip of paper.</p>

<p>Everyone else makes up and writes a convincing "definition". </p>

<p>Everyone passes their slips to "It" who reads all definitions including the "real one".</p>

<p>Players then guess which is the real defintion.  Everyone who correctly chooses the real definition scores a point.  Everyone whose made up definition gets a vote also scores a point.   </p>
