Hig Pig Word Game

I fondly remember playing a word game called ‘Hig Pig’ as a child, which I now realize was educational. We played this game regularly during car rides and sometimes at the dinner table. I’m pleased to say that my kids now play it and enjoy it.
For those of you who don’t know what a pennywell miniature pigs, it’s a word game that asks you to solve a riddle. The answers are two rhyming one-syllable words.
There’s no order or score keeping and it’s easy to play:

Simply announce your hig pig clues to the other players as quickly as you can make them up. When someone guesses an answer, they shout it out. For example: “What is a hig pig for an overweight feline? Answer: a fat cat.”
