Game: lovers' quarrel

Discourse is the study of how sentences connect in longer pieces of language such as conversations or stories.  The sentences have to connect grammatically (called cohesion) and meaningfully (called coherence).
For example:
"Where's the book?
 It (not she) is on the table (not going to dance class)"

The rules for the board game are: 
Go around the board with dice.  Before the first roll, pick up a sentence from the face-down pack. On each turn the player picks up a sentence and tries to show that it is cohesive and coherent with the previous sentence.  If successful, the player may remain on the square, if unsuccessful, the player must return to his/her previous position.  The game ends when all of the sentences are used and the winner is the player furthest ahead on the board.  Then students can compare students with other groups of players.
The sentences should be ambiguous enough that some will fit together, for example:

·         I love you.

·         Don’t go.

·         I don’t want to.

·         Have a drink.

·         Ok.

·         What did he say?

·         What did she say?

·         Where were you?

·         I won’t answer that.

·         You know the answer to that.

Can you think of others?
