How to Play Alphabet Descriptions

Players take turns describing something using words in alphabetical order.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Children's Dictionaries

1. Take turns being "It."

2. Name an object when you're It. This can be any type of object, but objects the players are familiar with usually work best.

3. Go through the group, one player at a time, and have players name a word that describes the object. The first player must use a word that begins with "a," the next a word that begins with "b" and so on through the alphabet.

4. Start over with a new object once you've gone through the alphabet.

5. Look at this example: The object is a bracelet. Players might say things like "ankle bracelet," "blue bracelet" and "cute bracelet."

6. Try to come up with funny and creative descriptive words.

Tips & Warnings

• Help younger children play by saying to them when it's their turn, "Can you think of a word that begins with 's' or the 'sssss' sound?" Older players will laugh at the nonsensical descriptions the little ones come up with.
