This is a fun word game (made famous by the TV show) which can help children to learn new words, practise dictionary work and presentation skills!

It works best in a classroom or large group setting, but can be fun with friends and family via Skype or Zoom. You will need time to prepare. Age: 7+

You will need a large dictionary and at least 4 players, preferably more. 3 players are chosen to give the first presentation. They must choose a difficult word from the dictionary (which they hope no-one will know) and write 3 definitions for the word. One of the definitions must be true, and the other two should be plausible (but can be funny).

Now write the word on a card or the chalkboard and ask the 3 children to read out their words to the group of class, giving no indication which is right and which are wrong. Make sure the children adopt a good poker face when giving their definitions!

The audience now votes on which is the right definition. If they guess right, the audience gets a point. If they guess wrong, each of the other 2 presenters gets a point!

Variations 3 adults or older children can prepare a number of words in advance, and present them to younger children.

Instead of using word definitions, you can write 3 or more "truths" about a character you are studying, or perhaps a favourite celebrity. The audience has to guess whether the "facts" are right or wrong.

I Packed My Suitcase Game

I Packed My Suitcase is a classic memory game which is useful for all sorts of occasions, from a doctor's waiting room to a long car journey! You can adapt it to all ages of kids, and adults enjoy playing as much as children.

Age: 5+ The first player thinks of a word beginning with the letter A and then says, for example: I packed my suitcase with an apple. The next player repeats the sentence and adds something beginning with B, for example: I packed my suitcase with an apple and a banana. The next player adds a word beginning with C: I packed my suitcase with an apple, a banana and a canary.

Play continues until someone can’t remember the list or makes a mistake. Depending on their age, you can either prompt them or disqualify them! Keep going until all players but one are disqualified, or until you reach the end of the alphabet. Variations If playing with young children, it helps to make the words as silly and colourful as possible they are more likely to remember them! If playing with older children, you can make the game even more difficult by choosing a noun and an adjective for each letter of the alphabet. For example, I packed my suitcase with an active antelope, a brown bear and a chilly chicken.
