Get set up
Gather the required materials: Prepared clues; optional photos. Set them out before explaining the first round. Choose an indoor area where the group can participate without blocking walkways.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Choose relatives who agreed to be included.
- Prepare three to five clues from broad to specific.
- Read clue one and let teams submit a guess.
- Continue with later clues if nobody is correct.
- Reveal the relative and award points based on clue number.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use childhood photos, voice clues or family-history locations.
Make it a great round
No embarrassing or private clues.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
