Okay, what you have to do is think of a word with one vowel in it, that remains a proper word when you substitute that vowel with each of the other vowels. So, you'll be supplying five different words.The first step is to do this with a three letter word. Once you do that, the next person has to do four, and so on (but you can't skip from three to five).
Once it gets to five letters, there can be an extra vowel in the word, but the same one must be substituted in all the words.
The winner is the one who eventually gets the longest word, and they will get an amazing prize.

Tan
Ten

And to the doubters who say 'tun' isn't a word, it's a tardigrade in it's cyptobiotic state. So ner.
Okay, FOUR letter word now..
tans
tens
tins
tuns
tons
There's always one.
Okay, that brings it up to five letters, so there can be an extra vowel in the word.

Creative! At first I was dubious about the boomer-variations, but I just consulted an Aboriginal elder who verified that they were all spot on.
And we're still going for 9.
We get a 3rd vowel at 10.
stringers

This game would need less cheating if you had to get a minimum of three of the vowels for each set.
