Intro
Love shouting words at the TV show Countdown? Then this game is right up your street. Simply ask each player to pick 6 Scrabble tiles and spend the next 5 or 10 minutes coming up with as many words as they can. The longer the words are the better!
This is a competitive game that’s great for a group or 1-on-1
What you need
- Scrabble tiles (large, if possible)
- Pen
- Paper
The Activity
- Sit everyone around a table
- Give each player a pen and paper
- Put the tiles face down on the table
- Ask each player to choose their 6 letters and lay them in front of them
- Tell the group they’ve got a set amount of time (5 or 10 minutes should be enough) to write down as many words as they can using their letters
- Once the time is up, invite each person to share their words with the group – the winner is the one with the most!
- Play again if the group fancies it, but don’t forget to shuffle the tiles
