Rigmarole
Rigmarole is a game of memory using counting sequence in which alliteration, beginning a sequence of words with the same letter sound, is the core concept. For example "Five Fixed Fans" or "Ten Tan Toads". The repetition of a list makes Rigmarole similar to Going on a Picnic and Grandmother's Trunk. However in this game players must remember a sequence of words rather than just single words making it a bit more challenging.
Even though players are aided by the counting sequence and the repetition of the starting letter sound the game is definitely for older children.
What You'll Need
Playing the Game Play continues with each player repeating all of the previous alliterations and adding the next number until "ten" is reached. After "ten" play start over with "one" again.
Any player that is unable to successfully repeat the previous alliterations or who does not add a new phrase is out of the game.
