CATEGORIES
Participants: 4 to 6 participants
Materials: white sheets, pencils or pens
The objective of the game is to write the greatest number of words, that begin with a specific letter, before the
other players and obtain the highest score.
To play it you must give each player a paper and pencil. Each one will create a table that will contain the
categories that the group decides. The first column will be for the letter, then you place the categories and finally
the total points obtained.
A category will establish the type of word you will write in that column. The most common categories are: NAME,
SURNAME, TOWN, PROVINCE OR COUNTRY, FRUIT or VEGETABLE, ANIMAL, THING OR OBJECT. Other categories
you can use are: COLOR, BODY PART, JOB and FOOD. Choosing the categories will depend on the age or
knowledge of the players. If playing with children, simpler or broader categories should be chosen. This is the
time to determine the validity of a word. For example: in the NAME category, you must determine if you will only
accept proper names of people or if you will accept proper names of pets and fictional characters.
