The first person chooses a sentence to say in their head, and then whispers that phrase to the person next to them.

This person then blurts out the original phrase, or a mangled version of the original phrase, and then sees if they are correct by having the first person restate what they originally said. See if your friends or family mangled the original sentence as it was passed along person by person. The outcome is usually hilarious and you will probably be pissed off to know that your friends family members are terrible listeners!
