1. The Letter Game: This one is my favorite. First you have to think of a category, like "animals," "Star Wars," or "cities." Then someone says a name of something in that subject, like "Boston." Then the next player has to think of a city that begins with the last letter of the city just named, like "Newton" or "New York." And so on, and so on, until you get bored or can't think of anything else.
2. 20 Questions: I bet most of you already know how to play this game. My hiking buddy and I don't really ask just 20 question.
We just keep asking questions until someone figures it out. I'm very good with the Star Wars character category.3. Would You Rather: We made this game up last fall when we were climbing Mount Greylock. In the game, a player asks another player something like, "Would you rather be a policeman, fireman, or a typewriter repairman?" Then the person says their answer. Sometimes they're really funny, like "Would you rather be an Ewok from Return of the Jedi, an Ork from Lord of the Rings, or a radio active spider?"
4. The Story Game: In this game we make up a story. Someone starts off by saying a sentence or two, then the next person says a couple of sentences, and so on, and so on, until the story is done (or just too weird to go on). When my dad and I climbed Mount Pierce and Mount Eisenhower -- just the two of us alone -- we played this game a lot. We made up stories about an Indian and a young boy, a small pine needle man, and kids in a flying boat. They were very funny.
Green Tip #7: Try to reduce the amount of catalogs and junk mail that come to your house. Each year 19.8 billion catalogs are mailed in the United States (that's like 61 million trees!). A 4th grade school teacher from Boston wrote me a letter and told me about a project he started in his class to get rid of catalogs. If you'd like to learn more about it, click here.
