Another popular car/travel game. The benefit of this game is it does not rely on having items to see. We play this as a family team but it works equally well if played individually against each other.
Time needed for one round: 5 minutes.
How to Play Alphabetical Categories
- Overview
This game is about thinking of words from within a chosen category in alphabetical order.
- Decide on a Category
We usually take turns amongst the players as to what will be the next category.
The categories can be anything but some of our favorites are:
Animals
Movie Characters
Bands
Places (Countries was too challenging for our kids at 6 and 4) - Game Play
Having chosen a category (e.g Food), then the first players’ answer has to start with an ‘A’, second player with ‘B’ and so on until you get to ‘Z’.
-
We usually let each kid have two ‘Passes’ whereby the same letter moves to the next player. If everybody struggles with a letter we simply move on.
-
Its always surprising and educational as to what your children might come out with. Who would have guessed our 4 year old knew what a Narwhal was!
