Get set up
No equipment is required. Gather the group where everyone can hear the explanation and demonstrate one sample turn before starting.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Split into two teams.
- Choose a category.
- Team A gives one valid answer, then Team B gives a different one.
- Allow about five seconds per answer.
- A repeat or miss ends the round; award a point and choose a new category.
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 three teams, alphabet categories or a 30-second team brainstorm before play.
Make it a great round
Start with an easy example so the group understands the pattern, then increase difficulty gradually.
Keep everyone comfortable
Invite players to pass or adapt the activity. Keep walkways clear and choose a seated version when movement is unsuitable.
