Okay, so I just randomly thought this up, and it isn't really a game per se, as it is an activity...
Anyway, the object of this is to memorize whatever alphabet the people of the language you're learning write, but in a language other than the languages it's normally used to write (preferably English, but you can do something else, as long as you translate it.)
Say what alphabet you are using, and what language you are 'speaking.' Be sure to use the grammar of the language the alphabet isn't used to write. (If the language you're 'speaking' doubles letters, like in English, you don't need to double the letters in the alphabet you're typing.)
These rules may not make much sense, so I'll give an example, using the Cyrillic alphabet (to the best of my abilities):
Хэло, маи ним ез Жо.
In English, this is in. 'Hello, my name is Joe.'

So its just a sentence in a different language? Or the whole alphabet... Oh well, I just post a sentence.
私の名前は梨花です。 （わたし の なまえ は りか です。）
My name is Rika.

Well, it's a sentence in one language, directly transliterated (or as close as possible) into a nother alphabet, not changing the pronounciation.

It would be very difficult to transliterate the Cyrillic alphabet letter for letter without drastically altering the sound, so this is a strictly phonetic (for the most part) rendering, based on what little I know of Russian pronunciation and the phonology of my Russian teacher's pronunciation of English.

سلام سيز ناسلسنيز؟ إیيم تشكر ادريم
Selam, siz nasılsınız? İyiyim, teşekkür ederim.
Two basic Turkish phrases, greetings. wink
I know, it's kinda cheating, since they used to use the Arabic alphabet... but, they're removed most of that vocabulary and they write differently. So of course, Osmanlı spellings where available, best guess when it isn't.
