I belong to a "geeky" forum ( I know... say it isn't so!) and they started this game. It's fun and definitely forces you to think about words!
"The definition of alliteration is the repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds at the beginning of words. In this game, in alphabetical order, create five word sentences -or- phrases ~ making sure that three of those five words begin with the same letter. A,B,C ... that's all there is to it! Be creative, phrases/sentences MUST make sense and be able to stand alone, etc. And, as usual, "liberties" may be taken with the difficult letter(s) - notably 'X'."
Here are some examples:
Normally, narcotics numb nasty neuralgias.
Opulent organists often organise orgies.
Pomeranians poop on public pathways.
Quartermaster quickly quaffs quarts quietly.
Take it from there (next letter being 'R')! Have fun :P...
