Letter Word Game Free Printable

Remember the popular board game Scattagories back in the 1990’s?

Well the isolation just had us remembering it too!

We’ve put together a template for you to print for each player.

All you need to do is pick a letter out of a hat and complete all 25 categories with relevant words that start with the selected letter. Eg. for “F”, Country would be France and an Animal would be “Frog”.

You can play to a timer- make it 60 seconds, or everyone must put pens down when the first person completes all 25 categories.

You get 1 point for each correct word, and 2 points for an original word no-one else uses!

Winner is the person with the most points at the end.

Let the fun continue! We used to make our own lists of categories, and you can too!

Dress Up

We love a bit of creative play and nothing sparks more creativity than a bit of dress-up.

Get your kids reenacting and creating their own stories through play while building their literacy and story telling skills!

For the older kids they could even put on a play for mum and dad- that means the day rehearsing mama! No need for fancy costumes, you can fill it with bits and bobs lying around the house.
