Usually, the Scattergories categories list are: So, knowing the list Scattergories categories list before the game can be a good choice so that we can learn the probability of names or vocabularies that can be entered. So, to win the game, we need to understand the various names or vocabularies that can be included in the list of categories. The categories that should be filled come in a form of a list. Actually, Scattergories can be described as a creative game that involves us to write the names of things that are included in a certain category. All opinions are my own.What are the categories in Scattergories?īefore we start to play Scattergories, we need to understand what Scattergories is. In addition to the game, I was compensated for my time in reviewing the game and writing the review. Perhaps Scattergories Bible Edition would be a good match for your family! Thanks to Discount Catholic Products for the chance to add it to our family game collection.ĭisclosure: I received the game to review and was able to keep it after reviewing it. With the rush of the holidays done, these long, cold winter nights are perfect for family game nights. So, even if our first attempts at the game just as it came in the package left the kids scratching their heads (literally), we loved the game with some modifications that were perfect for us. As a fun way to reinforce Biblical studies in your school or homeschool.As a Bible scavenger hunt with your family, as I mentioned above.As a tool for a religious education or Sunday school class, especially for older elementary, middle, and high school children (or with a group of adults, of course!).As a traditional “board” game either strictly by the (rule) book or with modifications that best suit your family (ranging from extra time to Outburst style, and everything in between).Although we didn’t try this out, I think it would also be a fabulous game to play and actually take time to research for answers that nobody knows off the top of their head – almost like a Bible scavenger hunt!.
He actually said, “How is a person supposed to think with that going?” Nobody else complained, but I think the kids were glad to play with some extra time. This also helped Noah (with Asperger’s Syndrome) since the noise of the timer kind of made him crazy. We spent some time playing in a more traditional way, but just extended the time allotted for each round.We had a lot of fun just grabbing a list, rolling the die (to find out which letter things needed to start with), and then just having everyone shout out answers they thought of – kind of a la Outburst style (which is also a game we all love).Alternate Ways We Played the Scattergories Bible Edition So, let me share some ideas with you about ways to play that aren’t strictly according to the rules but that make it a great game for lots of kids (even those that, like some of mine, aren’t crazy about timed games). We just enjoyed playing it in an alternate way and I would actually recommend the Scattergories Bible version for several reasons. Don’t jump to the conclusion that I don’t recommend the game. I love that a couple of the kids look so over the top that it looks staged. I told him that I really was going to, and here it is, just for you guys. When Eric saw the picture, he both burst out laughing and asked if I was really going to use that in the review post. This was the scene at our house during the first round… Well, I’ll be completely honest, because I know that’s what you would expect from me. While I wasn’t exactly sure what the kids would think of the game, they were up for giving it a try and I was ready to coach them and snap some pictures. Since the regular version of Scattergories has long been a favorite game of mine, I was thrilled to get a chance to try out the Scattergories Bible version recently thanks to Discount Catholic Products.
