6-8 or 10-12 players may take part in this game. The players form up a
line. Behind them there is a row of chairs. The players sit down on
them. The leader says: "Imagine, that in a branch-line there stands an
empty van. You must think of the name of goods with which you may load
the van. "Then the players pronounce their variants in turn. The players
name different things: cotton, vegetables, chairs, a cow etc. The
leader loudly repeats each word pronounced by the players so as the
audience can hear it. It's a kind of training. Before the beginning of
the game the players stand up. The leader speaks out the rules of the
game: 1) The name of the goods must begin with the letter suggested by
the leader. 2) The time for thinking of the answer is limited. The
player who can't think of the answer within the limits pays the forfeit,
sits on the chair and drops out of the game. 3) On having asked all the
players, the leader names another letter of the alphabet and the game
goes on. 4) At the end of the game the winners get the prizes.
