Play Scattegories for kids
Scattegories is designed to improve your little one’s initial letter identification skills and will also help them to develop their language and recall skills. Here's a kid-friendly version that you can play orally with your child.
What you need:
- Paper (optional)
- Colouring pencils (optional)
Scattegories is an adult game played using paper and pencils. However, you can make it child-friendly (for kids who can't write quickly yet) by playing it orally. Here's how.
Decide which categories you will be using. A category can be anything. For example, food, a place, or a colour.
Chose a letter with which each category must begin.
Tell your child to name as many things as they can in the category that start with the chosen letter. Start the timer.
Extension: If your little one enjoys this game you may wish to have them name and draw a picture of the items before the time runs out.
