This is a good game for all ages of people who can read/write. You’ll want a group of 4-18 people.

Supplies: Pens and paper for everyone

Game Instructions: In this game, each person is asked to make up a category or fill-in-the-blank for the others to answer. It’s like Scattergories but the goal is to match the other players, not to get an original answer. Examples: Snow__________, Name a color, Tooth_________, Name a song sung by Elvis Presley, Name a Disney princess.

Players number their papers according to how many categories will be given. Then the group goes around the circle, giving their categories and everyone filling in their answers. After everyone has written all of their answers, the group again goes around asking each person to share their answers. Everyone gets a point for each match. If five people answered, “Snow Man”, they each get five points. If only one person said, “Snow White”, that person gets one point. The person with the most points wins the game.

 

This game is great for a group of 3-12 players.

Supplies: Paper and pens

Game Instructions:

A haiku is a Japanese poem of 17 syllables, in 3 lines. The first line has 5 syllables. The second line has 7 syllables. The third line has 5 syllables.  In the Haiku Game, each person has a piece of paper and a pen. They make up the first line of a haiku (5 syllables) and write it on their paper. They then fold the paper so the next person cannot see what they wrote. They pass it to the person on their left and that person adds line two of the haiku (7 syllables). That person fold the paper and passes it again for the third person to write the final 5 syllable line.  Then, everyone unfolds their papers and takes turns reading the haiku in front of them.

This is a good game for ages 7 – adults. You’ll want a group of at least 4 people. This is a great game to play while you’re waiting in a line. It doesn’t require any equipment.

Game Instructions:  Everyone stands in a circle and holds out ten fingers. Go around the circle, taking turns saying something you’ve never done before. For example, I might say, “I’ve never been water skiing.” Everyone who has been water skiing has to curl one finger into their hand.

Last person with a finger left wins.
