Hangman! : Hangman! How to Play:
One person will be the executioner. That person will think of a word or short phrase and mark out blanks (short lines) for each letter of each word. Separate words with either a slash (-), a fairly wide gap, or place words on separate lines.
Then the other players will guess a letter. If that letter is in the word(s) then write the letter in everywhere it would appear, and cross out that letter in the alphabet. If the letter isn't in the word then add a body part to the gallows (head, body, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg). The player will continue guessing letters until they can either solve the word (or phrase) or all six body parts are on the gallows. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Z Y
