How to play Parts of Speech Scattergories

Game Setup:

1.       Give each student one copy of the Parts of Speech Scattergories fill in page (Place pages in page protectors and use dry erase markers to reuse).

2.       Select a random letter: Roll a Scattergories die (either a physical one or an online one) or simply pick a random letter out of a hat.

3.       Set a timer for 2-3 minutes.

Game Play:

1.       Declare the letter for the round to the class and start the timer.

2.       Students think of one word for each part of speech that begins with the selected letter and write it in the box next to the appropriate part of speech.

a.       For example, if A was selected: A = angle, all, applaud, amorously, and, Amazing!, after, affectionate.

b.      Students can earn extra points for alliteration: Best Buy, Whale watching, bread and butter.

3.       After the timer stops, students put down their pencils. Go around the room asking the first person to name what they have for noun. If anyone else has the same word, both students cross out the word and get no points. Go around the room until everyone has read and all duplicates are eliminated. Do the same for each part of speech.

4.       Students get 1 point for each word that was unique. If they used alliteration, they get one point for each qualifying word. For example: duck (1 point); Donald Duck (2 points); love (1 point); long lost love (3 points);

5.       You may play multiple rounds with different letters. The person with the most points at the end wins!
