How do you play scattergories?
There are a few different ways you can play. If you are playing in a classroom setting or with a larger group of family and friends, you may wish to set a timer for 3-5 minutes prior to giving everyone their scattergories game page.
However, you can also play it on your own as well!
At the top of the page you will see eight different Mother’s Day themed categories. What you have to do is come up with a word for each category that begins with each letter of the word LOVE.
Here are a few examples:
Let’s take category 3, “animal.” For L you could say “lion,” for O you could say “ostrich.”
Continue on with the rest of the letter and categories and until you fill in all of the blanks. Write down as many answers as you can before the time runs out. If you happen to get stuck on a certain category, you can skip it and come back to it later if you have enough time.
After the timer runs out, go around the room and compare your answers with all of the other players. If there is a player that has the same answer as you do, both of you must cross that word off of your list.
Whichever player has the most unique answers at the end of the game, is the winner!

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.
