Preparation
To prepare for this game you either have to divide people into groups of 2 or all can play by themselves.
All of the participants need a pencil and a piece of paper.
Description of activity
On the top of the left side of the paper you write categories of words ( for example: cities, countries, food etc. )
On the top you draw a square with a place for a letter.
After everyone is ready everyone takes a turn of choosing a letter. After a letter is chosen every group has to write a word for each category starting with that letter ( for example: Letter B: food: Broccoli, cities: Barcelona etc. )
The first person to complete the table with each word starts counting down from 10. After he/she reaches 0 everyone stops writing.
Each group then takes turn saying a word for 1 category.
If someone has a word that nobody has then the person gets 10 points. If a word is present more than once the person gets 5 points. If he doesn’t have any word then the person doesn’t get any points.
The group with the most points wins.
