Human Boggle from Playmeo
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Place a large set of alphabet cards face-down on the floor. Print several sets of cards.
- Form two or more teams of 2 to 6 people.
- Instruct each team to nominate a runner.
- To begin, ask each runner to randomly select 9 cards from the pile.
- Lay all 9 cards in a 3 x 3 grid in front of their team.
- If no vowels are present in the grid, a team may turn any one of their nine cards over to become a vowel as nominated by you (the facilitator.)
- When ready, challenge each team to identify as many words as possible using the letters in the grid.
- Give teams 2-5 minutes to record words on a notecard for the first few rounds, then 1-3 minute if you continue.
- Words can only be formed by tracing letters which are situated horizontally, vertically or diagonally next to the letter before it.
- Allow three to four minutes of play.
- The team which forms the most number of words wins that round.
- Play two or more rounds, shuffling the letters between each round, or try a variation.
