Players take turns telling their favorite jokes or riddles out loud to keep everyone entertained and laughing, no props needed — just a good memory and a willingness to embrace the groans.

A wordplay game where one player calls out a word, and everyone else takes turns finding words that rhyme with it until no one can think of a new one — then a fresh word starts the next round.
