Pencil and Paper

Description :

The players write down a list of a dozen categories such as fish, flower, fruit, vegetable, animal, bird, coutry, town, river, boy's name, girl's name, and famous person. A letter of the alphabet is then chosen at random and the players have five minutes in which to write a word for each category beginning with the chosen letter. For example with a chosen letter of B, the list could be Barbel, Buddleia, Blackberry, Beetroot, Bison, Bittern, Bulgaria, Basingstoke, Bure, Brian, Beth and Beethoven. The players read out their lists in turn. Each word which is not on any other player's list scores a point. The winner is the player with most points. Of course, if you really want to make the game a challenge you could come up with categories such as characters from Dickens, French impressionist artists or British Tennis Champions.
