Game

I wasn't completely sure what was meant by "game" for this category so I went something that was not electronic or online.  

​

This is a fast paced game in which players have 5 seconds to answer a prompt such as "Name 3 breeds of dog."  Score points based on how many correct answers you can get out before the 5 seconds runs out. A fun timer makes a silly noise and tells you when the 5 seconds is up.  If you can answer all 3 correctly, you get one point.  If you can only come up with one or two answers, you get no points and the same question goes to the next player but the next player can't use any previously used answers to score.  The question keeps going to the next player until someone can answer it.  If it goes all the way back to the original player, they score a point by default.  

The next player on the right starts the next round.  Play continues through as many rounds as players want to play.

​

​

This is a pretty fun game to play.  I would love to actually play it with a small group of teens at some point.  I think it has the potential to get very funny as silly answers can be blurted out.  The set up and the game concept are very straightforward and easy to do independently.  I think kids could also be encouraged to write their own game cards with additional categories and topics.
