21 Questions

This popular speaking game is ideal for playing with your girlfriend over the phone. Often when people play this game they are inspired by objects around them, so playing over the phone where the one person cannot see what the other can see makes it more difficult and exciting. You simply think of a person or object and your girlfriend must guess what or who it is by asking 21 questions or less. If she cannot guess it in 21 questions, she loses. Then switch the guesser.

ABC Game

Test both of your memories with the fun ABC game. Start with the letter A and take turns thinking of a word beginning with each letter of the alphabet. Each person must repeat the words that have already been said before coming up with a new word for the next letter of the alphabet. For example, if your girlfriend starts with A for "apple," you repeat "apple" and then say something beginning with B such as "banana." As the game continues it gets gradually more difficult. You could make the game themed, like by only naming animals or fruits and vegetables.
