What is Scattergories?

Scattergories is a fast paced word game that makes your brain think quickly to come up with the right word that begins with the right letter that no one else will guess! 

To begin each round you will choose a letter and then fill in the list of answers as quickly as you can with the certain letter word. 

When the 3 minute timer is up you reveal your answers to the group. 

For every answer you come up with that no one else has you get 1 point, if you match with someone else, then you both cross it out and no one gets any points. 

At the end of the round you add up your points to see who gets the most.

• Printed 4th of July Scattergories lists for each player

How To Play 4th of July Scattergories

• Hand out the 4th of July Scattergories list and answer sheet to each of the players. 
• Have one player choose a letter for that round. They can do that by picking one of the alphabet letter cards out of the bowl or use an alphabet die. If you already own the traditional scattergories game, you can use the die that comes with it. 
• Once everyone has their lists and a pencil then start the timer. 
• As soon as the timer starts, write down your answers for each category until the time runs out. Remember the first letter has to start with the chosen letter for that round. 
• When the round is over, go around the room and share your answers. For every answer that no one else has you get 1 point. If it matches another person, cross it out and receive no points. 
• Play as many rounds as you want. Just pick a new letter each time. 

Rules

• Each answer needs to begin with the chosen letter for that round. 
• You cannot use the same word more than one time per round. 
• If you roll or pick the same letter for another round, just choose another letter or roll again. 
• If you have an answer that you use the chosen letter for more than one word then you get a bonus point. For example, if your answer is Cookie Crisp for a breakfast cereal, you get two points!
