Madlibs

Here’s how it works:

1. Someone reads a list of blank spaces and asks for certain types of words (like “a color,” “a food,” or “a place”).�
2. You give words without knowing the story!�
3. After all the words are picked, they are put into the story.

​

• Then you read the story out loud and LAUGH at how goofy it sounds!�

Spot it!

Don’t Say the Word

How to Play:

1. Pick a card (for example: “pizza”).
2. You have to describe it, but there will be words you can’t say (like "cheese," "slice," or "crust").
3. The other players try to guess what the word is — based on your clues!
4. If you say one of the “don’t say” words — oops! You lose that round or get a penalty.�

Hidden Pictures

Hidden pictures are fun puzzles where you look at a big picture and try to find smaller objects hidden inside it. These objects are cleverly blended into the background — sometimes they’re part of the artwork, like a spoon disguised as part of a tree branch!

I Spy

How to Play:

Look around and secretly choose something you see — like a book, a hat, or a tree.

​

Say:

"I spy with my little eye, something that is [color/shape/letter]!"

For example:

​

"I spy with my little eye, something that is red."

​

The other players look around and try to guess what you’re thinking of.

​

You can give extra clues if they need help!

​

When someone guesses it, they get a turn to be the spy!
