One boy leaves the room, and the rest choose two words that have some logical connection, one masculine and the other feminine (e.g., collar and neck). To the guesser, everyone says a pair of sentences in which the masculine noun is replaced with “papa” and the feminine noun with “mama.” For example, in our case: mama is washed, papa is laundered; papa can be stiff, then it has little horns in front, and so on. The guesser must deduce these words.
