Step 1
Have all the players except one sit in a circle. The player not in the circle is the "thinker" and thinks of something. Standing in the middle of the circle, the thinker asks each player in turn: "What is my thought like?"
Step 2
Each player must name some object.
Step 3
When all have been asked, the thinker announces what her thought was and each in turn must prove the resemblance between his answer and the thought.
- Suppose the thought is a stove, and player 1 says: "Like the sun." Player 2, "Like silver," then the second time around player 1 can say: "A stove is like the sun because they both give heat;" player 2 can say: "A stove is like silver because they both shine when well polished, and so on.
Step 4
Change thinkers. The person who has the best connections between the object and the thought becomes the next thinker, as judged by all the players.
