Scrabble - you can get a junior version. Bananagrams. Boggle.

What age are you looking for?

LizzieMint · 19/05/2014 14:15

Also how about something like 'don't say that' - not specifically a word game but you have to describe things without saying certain words.

Ooh Bananagrams is brilliant.

Also Scattegories - you get an alphabet dice and a booklet of words you need to write down with whatever dice is rolled. You get the point if noone else has that word.

Articulate - describe the word on the card without saying it, or "rhymes with" etc.

Loads are available to print off the internet - under the guise of teaching games.

Braggart is good too. Fun and explains how storytelling works.

Second Bananagrams. It's great fun. Saviour of rainy caravan holidays...

Wow! Thanks for all those ideas.

DCs are 7 and 5 but it's obviously the older one I'm thinking of.

Gather bananagrmas has quite a following in these parts?!

I reckon I must be playing it wrong because bananagrams seems daft to me - DD aged 7 loves it though.
