1. Getting A Word

Select a player to roll the die to start the round. Match the number rolled to the word on your card. Secretly write it in your book. Don't say it loud or show it to anyone!



Note: If there is a blank space on your card that matches the number rolled, you get to make up any word(s) you want. If you see an underlined category, such as "TV SHOW", you get to make up any word(_) in that category.

If you see me on the bottom of your card you get to pick any word you want from the card!

Twist Things Up

Here are some fun game play twists for next time:

Create your own cards with words themed to different categories such as TV shows, movies, famous people, cartoon characters, superheroes, food, animals, sports, family, the 80s (any decade)...or customize words to your next event, like a family reunion, baby shower, bridal shower, block party, etc.


Marker & Book Care

Make sure all sketch book pages are completely erased and clean before storing back inside game box, as ink may stain the pages. Recap markers after use. If a marker dries out, use any dry-erase marker and keep on playing.

Dry-erase markers may stain fabrics and some surfaces. Protect play area before use. Avoid contact with carpet, clothing, walls and furniture. Keep away from eyes and skin.
