Word Games Plaza: Holiday

Holiday is one of the sequential word games, and suitable for kids in a car, especially, of course, when going on holiday. We played in in our family while having dinner, and even Joella, 7 years old, had little trouble playing this one.

Number of Players: any

Age: 7+, depending on ability.

Materials: None

Time: About 5 minutes

Object of the Game:

Fun

To start:

The players should agree on a category. 'Animals' proved (in the dutch language) to be a good category, well known to kids, and with sufficient diversity in the final letter.

How to Play:

• The first player mentions any animal that occurs to him, saying: "I'm going on a holiday and I want to see ....."
• The next player should mention an animal which starts with the same letter as the previous animal ended. For example, if the first player said "I'm going on holiday and I want to see a horse" the second one might say: "I'm going on holiday and I want to see an Elephant."
• No animal may be named twice.

The end:

As soon as a player cannot name a new species, the previous player wins.
