Subject and object questions speaking games

Game 1: Making original subject and object questions games

Ask each other questions. You get a point if you get an answer no one has given before but no points if you get an answer that has been said before by anybody (including you).

Continue the same game, but this time only asking “Who…?” questions. You get no points for answers that anyone has said before. You can’t use the same question twice, but you can just change a few words such as asking “Who do you buy presents for?” and then “Who buys presents for you?”
