GAME: A-Z Cities!
Hiya. I used to play this game in High School in my Geography class and I thought it would be fun to post a thread about it!
So the point of the Game:
Basically, we go through the alphabet and every person names a city starting with whatever letter we're on. We have to go through the entire alphabet, A-Z. Once we get to Z, we must restart back at A.
However... the first alphabet set will be the names of cities found in Alabama... once we reach Z, we start back at A and THAT set of alphabets will be the names of cities found in Alaska... then Z comes around and start back at A and that set of alphabets will be the names of cities found in Arizona. Get the pattern? We're going by sets of alphabets and the states are alphabetical!
Example: First set of alphabets: Alabama
Person#1: A - Adamsville, Alabama
Person #2: B - Baileyton, Alabama
Person #3: C - Calera, Alabama
(blah blah blah, D through Y)
Person #26: Z - ____, Alabama
Example: (Back at A) Second set of alphabets: Alaska
Person #27: A - ___, Alaska
Person #28: B - ___, Alaska
Person #29: C - ____ Alaska
If you can't find a city that starts with the letter you're on, RESTART back at A and remember to figure out the next alphabetical state! (which would be Arizona, after Alaska).
I hope this all makes sense! I think it's a fun game to learn and research (unless you're already a geographical genius lol)
(Don't use my examples, that's cheating lol)
I'll start!
A - Abbeville, Alabama

(gee, if you have a Rand McNally Road Atlas, it sort of makes this game no fun. Might be better just to come up with a real city name alphabetically no matter where it is).

If you guys think it'll be better listing cities in different states, go for it! Hell, why stop at states? Let's list cities in different countries! Just make sure to keep it alphabetical and list the state or country in which the city is found! =D
