Alphabet categories game: rules and printable kit

Choose a category and list an example for each alphabet letter. Agree which letters may be skipped and how duplicates count.

Suggested group: 2–20
Plan for: A short round; see the steps
Bring: Answer sheets and pens

Set up and play

Choose one category, such as food or things outdoors. Give each team an alphabet sheet.
Allow three minutes to write one matching example per letter. Agree whether difficult letters may stay blank.
Read the answers. Accept reasonable examples; agree whether identical team answers count.

Finish the game

Suggested score: one point per accepted answer, including duplicates. Highest total wins; shared wins are fine. The Chinese sheet uses a first-character chain instead of English letters.
