I like this game because it is forgiving or not intimidating (players may get inspiration from played words or they can pass a turn if they cannot create a word which is great for beginners) This printable Christmas game comes with a few different versions of word category games: one similar to the original Scattergories game, one that has 4 letters pre-filled for each category, and one version that’s easier for younger kids with just a list of all of the letters of the alphabet.

That’s just a sample of some of the Christmas categories in this printable game, and there are 6 separate list cards pre-filled with 10 different categories… so that’s a total of 60 different words for your guests to come up with! Printable Christmas Scattergories Game The unique thing about the card set is that it contains consonants on cards while the dice contain vowels.Waiting for other players’ turn (who typically might think for some time before playing) which causes playing time to be over an hour Since some of the categories are more difficult, I would suggest going with a 3 or 5 minute timer for each round. Or if you want to really make it challenging for adults, try a 60 second or 2 minute time frame. Step 3: For each category, write down words that start with that letter.

This is a great Christmas game for adults, because it can definitely be challenging, especially when you have a crazy category and there aren’t a lot of options for a particular letter… You could really need to get creative in your answers. Like, for “something Santa wears” that starts with letter “D”, you could write down “drawers” (for underwear). The words a, an, and the don’t count as the first word. So you could write down “The Night Before Christmas” for a Christmas book that starts with letter N.Despite these, scrabble can be played by children aged 8 years old and up because the mechanics are easy to learn, and it enables them to bond with older generations. I highly recommend modifying the scoring in the following way to make it more interesting for children:
