There's a very common game in Russia. We call it Balda. I wasted so many time on it when I was at school :)
Here's the rules:
- there's 5x5 field and the word in the centre
- the players add one character in turn on purpose to form new word. The new word must be formed by iteration through adjacent fields(not by diagonal)
- each character in the word is a point
- only nouns are allowed
Generally it intend for two players but may be we try to play all together :)
For example:
-------------------
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ |
-------------------
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ |
-------------------
| t | a | b | l | e |
-------------------
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ |
-------------------
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ |

Do you watch any English films or tv series? May be you can remember some funny quote or dialogue from it :)
I heard two opposite points of view. Some people say that grammar is not valuable for learning and the reading, writing and communication is more natural way to make progress in English. And other people think that grammar is very important thing and you never will be speaking properly without it. What do you think about it?
