INTRODUCTION

You can run this activity in a variety of ways, depending on the facilities you have available and how long you want it to last.

  • Email lists out to parents and get them to send back an image.
  • Post to your section’s facebook group one item at a time – give them 5 minutes to find them items.
  • Post a complete list to your section’s facebook group – give them a fixed time to find them items.
  • Section video call and give them one item at a time to find.

There’s some further advice on running programme’s at home here.

RULES

(Rules assume you are running on a facebook group or similar – they can be easily adapted for email or playing live via video)

You need to list 26 items from in or around your home, each beginning with a different letter of the alphabet.

Get an adult to post your list with your name at the top as well as ONE photo showing everything you’ve found. (Please REPLY to this post)

You can’t have items that start with a family member name.

For example:

Apple

Brown Boot

Coat

Dog

Etc etc…

The game starts at 6pm and finishes at 8pm sharp when comments will be turned off!  Don’t be late or you can’t enter!

Now here’s the trick!  You only get one point for every answer that no one else has got.  So unique items only or mega creative naming! If someone else has the same answer, no points for either of you!

Alliteration answers get multiple points!
