Word Games
It's always useful to have a good stock of word games at your disposal, for family dinners when you need to keep the kids amused, waiting rooms, over-tired children on long journeys. And of course word games are good for building vocabulary, modelling sentence construction. etc. But actually, word games are just plain fun!
Call My Bluff
This is a fun word game (made famous by the TV show) which can help children to learn new words, practise dictionary work and presentation skills! It works best in a classroom or large group setting, and you will need time to prepare.
I Packed My Suitcase..
I Packed My Suitcase is a classic memory game which is useful for all sorts of occasions, from a doctor's waiting room to a long car journey! You can adapt it to all ages of kids, and adults enjoy playing as much as children.
I Went On Holiday..
I Went On Holiday is a popular memory game which is perfect for keeping kids amused when they are confined to a table, car or waiting room! You need at least some geographical knowledge so it is best played with older kids.
Tell Me A Story
This is a lovely game for a group of children or a family gathering. Play it as an ice-breaker, around the dinner table, on car journeys, as an after-tea party game... in fact, play it anywhere!
