Categories race: one letter, many answers

A categories game with your own categories: one letter, many answers, one sheet of paper each.

Time
⏱ 15–30 min
Difficulty
◆ easy

What you need

  • Paper and pen for each person

How to do it

  1. Everyone draws a table of categories on their sheet: at least city, country, river plus about three more.
  2. Choose a letter, for example one person silently recites the alphabet while another shouts “stop”.
  3. Everyone writes matching words. Whoever fills every category calls out loudly and writing ends. Alternatively, set a fixed time.
  4. Compare the answers and give points.

Variations

  • Use your own categories such as musical instrument, company or bus stop name to keep rounds fresh.
