CONVERSATION 16. Listen to the Last Letter While in a conversation, play First Letter, Last Letter. The rules are simple: the first letter of the first word you say has to start with the last letter of the last word the other person just said. As an example: Person A: “Hey, did you finish those TPS reports?” YOU: “Sure did, they’re right here.” Person A: “Great, I think you deserve a raise.” YOU: “Every day is just a pleasure to work here.” Note: The other person doesn’t have to know you’re playing the game, though they may want to join the fun. It’s also a great exercise in forcing you to listen to a person’s entire sentence instead of checking out once you think you know what they are going to say. 22
