This is a fun activity that can also help kids get excited about the country they live in and think about all the reasons that they appreciate the lifestyle here. It is not only great for kids but for adults as well.
How do you play the ABC Game?
First, give each person a blank game page. On each page, you will see 26 lines next to each letter of the alphabet. The idea here is to come up with one reason why you love America that begins with each letter of the alphabet.
Here are a few examples to help get you started:
A: Anthem
B: Banners
C: Celebration
D: Democracy
How to make printable games more fun for group settings:
This activity is definitely fun to play on your own. However, it is also a great game to play in the classroom or at a holiday party.
One way to add a competitive element to the game is to make it into a scattergories game.
This means that the game begins the same way, each person is given a blank game page. Next, set a timer for 3-5 minutes. If you are playing with younger kids or a larger group of people, you might want to add a few extra minutes to the time period.
Start going through the alphabet and come up with an America themed word for each letter of the alphabet. If you cannot think of a word, feel free to skip it and go back to that letter if you have time at the end.
The goal is to try and come up with as many unique words as you can.
Once the timer runs out, each player will go around and read their answers out loud. If you have the same word as another player, both of you must cross that answer off your lists.
At the end, whichever person has the most unique words at the end, wins!
Favorite Printable Supplies:
These are a few of my favorite supplies that I use for printable games and activities:
- White Cardstock: For most projects, I recommend printing onto cardstock. It is much more durable than standard printer paper and often produces a higher quality print.
- Crayons: A staple in any crafting household. Crayola is always the top notch choice!
- Kid Friendly Safety Scissors: These are perfect for little kids learning how to use scissors. They cut paper but not fingers or hair!
- Glue Sticks: These disappearing purple glue sticks are by far my favorite! I love buying them in bulk since we use them so often!
- Lamination Machine: Laminating printables are a great way to make them last longer. If you are planning on laminating to make games reusable, be sure to get a bunch of dry erase markers as well.
- Dry Erase Pockets: Dry erase pockets are a great alternative to using a lamination machine when wanting to make printable games and activities reusable.
- Printer: A high quality printer is always recommended for the best results. If you are in need of a printer this Brother Wireless Printer is a great choice.
