How to Play Hangman

Video Transcript

"Are you ever looking for games to play at home with your children? Hi, my name is Dean Hale and I got a fun game for you to play called hangman. It will help your children learn spelling and help to decode different variations of words and how to spell them. The basics of hangman are you play with two players and one player picks out a word. They would then put dashes on the page to show how many letters are in that word and in this example I have four. You would then want to draw the hangman line at the bottom line coming up and a line down. As the player the other player tries to guess what the letters are, if they guess O and there is no O on the word, you will start off by drawing a head on the hangman. If they guess one of the letters and let's say the guess an A, then you would write the A there and nothing will go up on the hangman. The play will continue until the player either guesses the word says all the use one of turns to say what the word is or actually spell out the entire word and then says what the word is. As the play goes along, you would then draw eyes, draw a mouth, body, arms and legs and that would be the completion. If the player gets there entire hangman drawn then the play will turn over to the other person and they will simply then write out the word so they can see what the word was and how it was spelled. My name is Dean Hale. It's a fun game to play with your kids, hangman."
