Word Play
Word Play is one of the fun word games for kids, car games for kids and party games for kids.
Preschoolers through teenagers will find it challenging but fun!
2 or more players
Ages 5 and up
Need: stopwatch
Each player has one minute to say as many words as she can that begin with a certain letter.
Players take turns picking a letter of the alphabet.
Example, player # 1 picks the letter C. She begins by trying to name as many words that start with C before the one minute is up.
The next player then goes and play continues until every player has played that round.
Then another player chooses a different letter and the game goes on.
For larger groups of kids, you may want to start with the letter "A" and go in alphabetical order.
The winner of each round is the player who called out the most words (so someone needs to be the word counter during play!)
This is another game that sounds pretty easy but is really challenging when you are under pressure from a time limit!
You'll find yourself repeating some words over again as your brain rushes to find all the words that begin with a certain letter in a short amount of time!
Teachers who want to play this at school may want to use paper and pencil and have the kids write the words down.
It's less time consuming than having each child shout words out, and for shyer kids, writing words down won't make them feel put on the spot.
