Description of play:
One of each pair of fish cards are placed on the floor or in a bucket. On each turn, players use a special "fishing rod" (if a small magnet and paperclips can be acquired) to "catch" one fish. Players try to think of the opposite of the word on the fish they "caught", then find its fishy match on a table amongst other fish. There are no winners in this game - ALL players should be rewarded for participation.
