   This must be common all over the English-speaking  world....   
                      Catholics in Australia  play it:

    .......  One person thinks of two words that rhyme and have the same number   
   of syllables, and supplies hints, and everyone else has to guess.   
   Whoever guesses correctly first gets to think of the next riddle.   
      
   One syllable word pairs are a stink pink, of course.   
      
   If the words have two syllables each, you say you have a stinky pinky.   
      
   If they have three syllables each, it’s  a   stinkity pinkity.   
      
   Four syllables,    a    stink-inkity pink-inkity;     and so one.
