If you're going on a road trip, try playing the A-Z Animal Name Game!
The rules:
You have to name an animal that starts with the letter of each alphabet starting with A and ending with Z. If you can name 27 animals in 30 seconds, you win! If you can name 27 animals in one minute, you're cool too.
But if you get stuck on the letter X, even after skipping over it to name "Yellowtail" and "Zebra" in order to go back to naming the animal X, and it's been 3 days of wracking your brains because there is no internet access where you are going and everyone you call on the cell phone can't name an animal starting with X either, you're just going to lose sleep trying to find the answer. So then you think that there is a slim possibility there is no animal that starts with a letter X and you only think this so you can trick your brain into going sleep for the night. But as soon as you see that computer with internet access at the Boy's mother's house, you go online to see if there is an animal that starts with X, and this is what you would find:
Xenops-- genus name and common name for a group of nuthatch-type birds native to Central and South America.
This little tidbit provided by the San Diego Zoo.
Yeah, that was a fun game. Did the letters U & V slow you down too?
