INSTRUCTIONS

As mentioned, Leftover Letters can be played with teams or individuals can battle each other. Either way, you will need everyone to stand in a circle (if you have a large group, you can have several circles and work your way down as teams/individuals are eliminated). Teams will need to rotate players (i.e. 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2).

When everyone is in position, place the letters in the center (either on the floor or on a table). Next, select who will go first and start your timer. Each person will have 10 seconds from the time the person before them named something. The timer will need to keep a close eye on the clock at all times. If they are unable to come up with a name, a point is awarded to the other team. The game will begin when the host calls out the category and the person whose turn it is must grab a letter from the pile and name something that starts with that letter from the category. For example, it the category was ice cream flavors and a “v” was left in the middle, they could say “vanilla.” Example categories are listed below.
