The following came to me in a flash while reading one of the joke lists .
Instructions and delivery are simple and intriguing. Do word pairs on different colored papers, the left column in yellow and the right in blue, for example. Then, have pairs of people try to either identify or simply find their partner.
Explain to your group:
An Anagram is a word or phrase made by transposing or rearranging the letters of a word or phrase. There are pairs of cards among you of related words from the same anagram.
The letters can be unscrambled so that you can make your partner's word. Or you can simply talk to everybody. Find your partner!
Pairs:
Dormitory
Dirty Room
The Morse Code
Here Come Dots
Slot Machines
Cash Lost in 'em
Animosity
Is No Amity
Snooze Alarms
Alas! No More Z's
Alec Guinness
Genuine Class
Semolina
Is No Meal
The Public Art Galleries
Large Picture Halls, I Bet
A Decimal Point
I'm a Dot in Place
The Earthquakes
That Queer Shake
Eleven plus two
Twelve plus one
Contradiction
Accord not in it
Mother-in-law (some people have trouble with this so use last)
Woman Hitler
And a final one, from recent current events (you're not going to believe this):
President Clinton, of the USA
To copulate, he finds interns
