Game: Chain of Place Names
dragon1's thread 'chain of song titles' reminded me of a Geography game that my kids play sometimes. It's identical to this game but played (obviously) with place names. I thought this would work well with this global forum!
Rules: Place names can include Countries, States, Counties, Cities, Towns, Village etc. Any place on our planet basically. You CAN repeat place names, but try to avoid repitition on the same page. You may need to consult your atlas for 'X' If you have time, try to educate us all by adding a rough location of your entries, (especially lesser known places). And any other info you wish to add. example: NorthwooD (a suburb of north London, England) --------------------- DoveR (A coastal town in Kent, England. You can get a ferry crossing to France from here) -------------------------- I'll start you off with my home town: WatforD (A town just north-west of London, England) |

Roodkerk - Tiny hamlet in Friesland, one of the the northern provinces of the Netherlands. Has 211 citizens currently. The 212 will probably be born in the night between today and tomorrow.
(OT: Perhaps it's a good idea to have the convention of putting the name of the area/town/etc in bold, so that people know what letter to use...) |

Abergavenny — AFAIK the only Welsh town ever to have a song about it. (Recorded by Marty Wilde, Kim's dad, in the 1960s.) |
