AFFIXES
The word stem -pathy(meaning feeling or disease) occurs in many words. Add an affix (either a prefix or a suffix) to this stem to make another word. Each participant should add a different word to the list.
The last time I tried this, everyone gave words relating to "feeling" -- apathy, sympathy, empathy, etc. This time, they're all disease words! Very interesting!
