Ask papa a question about his day and he'll turn it into a riddle. If you have something even remotely interesting to share, first hook people in to get them invested and then harangue them into asking yes or no questions til they figure it out. Nearly anything makes for a good punchline, given the right amount of frustrated curiosity. I still remember the mystery of the vanished bicycle left outside a campsite bathroom, which led to hours of questions....

One person thinks of a word and tells everyone the first letter of that word
-
The guessers' objective is to get the word creator to give them the next letters of the word. They do this by coming up with clues for words that they can guess, but the creator can't.
-
If the word creator can come up with a word that fits the clue, they say "it's not _____" and the guessers have to think of another clue.
-
If the word creator cannot think of a word, but one of the other guessers can, the other guesser says "Contact" and the guessers say the word together after counting down from 3. If they both say the same word, the creator has to give them the next letter. If they say different words, or if none of the other guessers knows what the clue means, then the guessers have to think of another clue.
