Sausages and Mash

A daft but funny way to get the whole family reading out loud.

Choose a book that you all want to listen too, and pick someone to read it aloud. Then the fun starts! Each time a word beginning with 's' is read the reader has to substitute it for 'sausages', each time a word beginning with 'm' is read the reader has to substitute it for 'mash'. The reader continues until they make a mistake, and the book is passed on to the next person.

If this is too easy, choose an additional letter and substitute word so three are in play at once. That's sure to confuse them!
