Forwards Backwards is a fun word game where players take turns saying a word and then reversing it. The objective is to come up with as many words as possible and reverse them accurately. Here’s how to play:

  1. Gather a group of players. This game can be played with two or more people.

  2. Decide on a starting player. This can be done by any method, such as flipping a coin or playing rock-paper-scissors.

  3. The starting player says a word out loud. It can be any word they choose.

  4. The next player must then reverse the word said by the previous player. For example, if the first player says “cat,” the second player must say “tac.”

  5. The game continues with each player reversing the word said by the previous player. For example, if the second player says “tac,” the third player must say “cat.”

  6. If a player cannot reverse the word correctly or takes too long, they are out of the game. The remaining players continue playing until only one player is left.

  7. The last player standing is the winner of the game.

Variations: - Instead of reversing the word, players can also try to come up with a new word that starts with the last letter of the previous word. For example, if the first player says “cat,” the second player can say “tiger.” - Players can set a time limit for each turn, adding an element of speed to the game. - To make the game more challenging, players can choose a specific category of words to use, such as animals or food.

Remember to have fun and be creative with your word choices!
