Lets play the Acrostic Type Game!

[Jack]

These are all copied from a psychology worksheet. Basically, you figure out what the capital letters are to complete the phrase. DO NOT try to make words out of letters and numbers combined, the numbers are just numbers, and the letters are always the first letter of a word.

Here are two examples:

12 M in a Y = 12 Months in a Year
or
2 P in a P = 2 Peas in a Pod

So here goes:

26 L of the A

7 W of the A W

1,001 A N

12 S of the Z

54 C in a D (with the J's)

and one that I made up (meaning it should be the easiest one):

B B and the 3 B


Good luck!


Jack

[Lonestarr]

26 Letters of the Alphabet

1,001 Arabian Nights

12 Signs of the Zodiac

54 Cards in a Deck (including the Jokers)

and finally...

Bugs Bunny and the 3 Bears

[Danielle]

If 7 W or the A W is really 7 W of the A W, then I'd say
7 Wonders of the Ancient World.

[Jack]

and Lonestarr and Danielle both get to share a see-gar! (sorry about that typo, heh heh)

here are some more (typo free, I promise!):

2 A B P S S L C P O on a S S B

7 D and S W

12 D of J C

13 C in a S

76 T L the B P



Jack

[Danielle]

Here are some more!

57 V of H K

88 P K

8 L on an O

3 B of the U S G

18 is the V A

7 L B T M

6 S on a G

30 D in a M

200 D for P G in M

3 F in a Y

5,280 F in a M

42, the A to L, the U, and E


Try them....if you dare! MWAHAHAHA!!!!

[Danielle]

I posted mine right while I was posting yours, and.....whoooooaaaaa. I don't see how ANYONE can figure that out...but give me a couple of minutes to try.....PLEEEEEEASSSSSE????

[Jack]

Here are the ones that came to me immediately:

57 V of H K = 57 Varietys of Hienz Katsup (my worksheet has a variation of this (57 H V = 57 Hienz Varietys)

88 P K = 88 Piano Keys

18 is the V A = 18 is the Voting Age

30 D in a M = 30 Days in a Month

3 F in a Y = 3 Feet in a Yard

5,280 F in a M = 5,280 Feet in a Mile

No, it does have something to do with Christmas(more like Christianity in general), but nothing to do with the 12 Days of Christmas (thats a different Acrostic).

Is 6 S on a G really 6 Strings on Guitar?



Jack
P.S. Did you make all those up on the spot?

Uh-oh. I don't know much about Christmas...


Waitaminute.....uh.....12 something of.....Jesus (I'm not supposed to say the name....whatever) I don't know! I don't know the story!!

Some I made up on the spot, some I remembered from the same kind of sheet. And yes, the guitar one is right!

[Danielle]

Is S S B in that long one "Star Spangled Banner"?

Oh, I'll give you two more:

8 L on a M

7 C in the R

Nope, that's a hard one, but really obvious when you finally get it (our teacher had to tell the class that one).

I'll get back to you on those other two later. My brain just stopped 5 minutes ago. I hate it when it does that.

Off I go to the kitchen for some Ibuprofen!

[Danielle]

Geez, you sure can give my poor old brain a workout, Jack... Aie! I think it's about to explode! AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
