NUMBER 9: The selector has to say a sentence. The person to the left has to add a word that rhymes with the last word in the sentence. This continues clockwise until everyone has added and successfully repeated the rhyming sentence. If anyone repeats a word of fluffs their rhyme, THEY HAVE TO TAKE A SIP.
