#1)Scribble Scrabble

Children of every age -- and yes, even
adults — will enjoy this game. All you
need is a pen and ,a piece of paper.
The first player makes .a scribble. The
second person has to make it into
something: a person, place or object.
It's that easy, and a lot of fun.

#2) Categories
This is an especially great game
because it can be tailored to any
age group. One person comes up
with a category, which should be
general enough that players can
think up many subjects to fill it, but
not so wide that anything goes.
"Vegetables" is a good category;
"foods" is not.
After the first person has
announced the subject, the sec-
ond person names something that
could fit into the category. Then the first person does the
same, and it goes back and forth until you have listed
rutabaga and bok choy and every vegetable ever known
to man. Here are some ideas for categories: actors, col-
ors, countries around the world, words that begin with
the letters "th," songs.

#3) What Is It?
One person looks around the room until he spies some-
thing interesting. Taking pen in hand, he draws it (or tries
to). The other player guesses what the artist has drawn.
