Word Game: Categories Game with a Twist

Wednesday’s Words: Categorization Puzzles

This week’s Wednesday’s Words is another categorization game with yet another twist.  Like last week’s Wednesday’s Words, in the following challenge you will be given a category and you will think of words that fit in each particular category.  Let’s take that up another notch.  For each category, you must come up with at least one word that starts with and one that ends with each of the letters in the word G A M E S.

For example, if your category was SCHOOL you might come up with:
Geography / StudyinG
Art / DramA
Music / GymnasiuM
Earth Science /. LecturE
Smart Board / RecesS

The goal is to stretch your thinking so be creative! If you get stuck and are struggling for a word, it is perfectly acceptable to search lists like this one http://www.scrabblefinder.com. Pay attention to which letters, topics, and letter position (first or last) were most challenging for you.
