Scattergories to play on Mother’s Day
Playing and printing out the Mother’s Day Scattergories printable game is a fun and easy way to bring laughter and joy to your Mother’s Day celebration.
This printable game encourages creativity and quick thinking, making it perfect for family gatherings or virtual celebrations. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to play and print out the game:
How to print
For the best experience, print your Scattergories boards on cardstock or high-quality paper. This ensures durability and a better feel when handling the game boards.
Make sure your printer settings are adjusted to print in color and set to the highest quality for the best visuals. If the printable is designed to fit an A4 or US Letter size, adjust your printer settings accordingly.
Consider laminating your boards if you plan on using them multiple times. This makes the boards reusable and you can use dry-erase markers to play the game over and over.
Materials needed
- Mother’s Day scattergories boards
- Timers (smartphone timer works great)
- Pens or pencils for each player
- Prizes for the winners (optional)
Game setup
- Each player receives a scattergories board. Each board should have a unique letter at the top; for this printable, the letters are LOVE, WISH, KIND, and BEST.
- Decide on a time limit for each round. Typically, 2-3 minutes per round works well.
Playing the game
- Once the timer starts, players must come up with words that fit the categories on their board and begin with the letter at the top of their board. For instance, if the letter is “L” and the category is “Type of Flower,” a valid answer could be “Lily.”
- Players try to fill in as many categories as possible within the time limit. The challenge is to think of unique answers that other players might not duplicate.
- When the time is up, players compare answers. A unique answer scores one point. If two or more players have the same answer, that answer scores zero points.
- Play as many rounds as there are boards, then tally up the scores.
The player with the most points after all rounds is the winner!
Tips for a successful game
- Encourage players to think creatively to come up with unique answers.
- If playing with younger children, consider giving them more time or helping them with tougher letters.
- Add to the Mother’s Day theme by decorating the play area with flowers, Mother’s Day banners, and serving light refreshments.
This Mother’s Day scattergories game not only offers a fun activity but also sparks conversations and shared laughter, making the holiday memorable. After printing, gather your family or connect online with loved ones to enjoy this engaging game that celebrates Motherhood in a playful and interactive way.
