Words that sit between one person and another
This sheet is for defining the same word in your own different words. Each sheet holds one word.
The categories are split by “where in life the word sits” — six of them: Heart · Economy · Life · Relationships · Paths · Dreams.
This sheet is “Relationships.” As the two of you define the words together, the shape of what's between you comes into view.
How it works
- Read today's word together with the dictionary meaning printed below it.
- Write your own definition in the left box and the other person's in the right box.
- Set the two definitions side by side and talk about where they meet and where they part ways.
When · with whom
Two or more people do this sitting face to face. The bigger the age gap, the further apart the definitions land, and the more fun it gets.
