New Year’s Scattergories Printable Game She has been doing it now for the past 10 years! We often sing hymns and share what we are most grateful for during the previous year. My mother has a yearly tradition of bringing the entire family to her house on New Years Day for a wonderful dinner and time of reflection. Since we always spend New Years Eve and New Years Day as a family, I’ve decided a start a new tradition where we will play games and usher in the new year together while bonding so we can keep the same vibes throughout the year. We let them watch a lot of the festivities on the various channels but very rarely do they make it past 10pm. My favorite thing about New Years Day is the family time! Today I have a fun New Year’s Scattergories game you can play with family!ĭo your kids stay up to watch the ball drop at midnight? Mine do not, I don’t even think they know it’s a “thing” yet. New Year’s is a fun time filled with hope and a renewed focus. It’s a time to start things brand new and it’s a time to end bad habits leaving them in the previous year. There is always a sense of renewal in the air. ![]() All opinions are my own.New Years Eve and New Years Day is one of my favorite times of year. In addition to the game, I was compensated for my time in reviewing the game and writing the review. Perhaps Scattergories Bible Edition would be a good match for your family! Thanks to Discount Catholic Products for the chance to add it to our family game collection.ĭisclosure: I received the game to review and was able to keep it after reviewing it. With the rush of the holidays done, these long, cold winter nights are perfect for family game nights. So, even if our first attempts at the game just as it came in the package left the kids scratching their heads (literally), we loved the game with some modifications that were perfect for us. As a fun way to reinforce Biblical studies in your school or homeschool.As a Bible scavenger hunt with your family, as I mentioned above.As a tool for a religious education or Sunday school class, especially for older elementary, middle, and high school children (or with a group of adults, of course!).As a traditional “board” game either strictly by the (rule) book or with modifications that best suit your family (ranging from extra time to Outburst style, and everything in between).Although we didn’t try this out, I think it would also be a fabulous game to play and actually take time to research for answers that nobody knows off the top of their head – almost like a Bible scavenger hunt!.He actually said, “How is a person supposed to think with that going?” Nobody else complained, but I think the kids were glad to play with some extra time. This also helped Noah (with Asperger’s Syndrome) since the noise of the timer kind of made him crazy. We spent some time playing in a more traditional way, but just extended the time allotted for each round.We had a lot of fun just grabbing a list, rolling the die (to find out which letter things needed to start with), and then just having everyone shout out answers they thought of – kind of a la Outburst style (which is also a game we all love).Alternate Ways We Played the Scattergories Bible Edition So, let me share some ideas with you about ways to play that aren’t strictly according to the rules but that make it a great game for lots of kids (even those that, like some of mine, aren’t crazy about timed games). We just enjoyed playing it in an alternate way and I would actually recommend the Scattergories Bible version for several reasons. Don’t jump to the conclusion that I don’t recommend the game. ![]() I love that a couple of the kids look so over the top that it looks staged. I told him that I really was going to, and here it is, just for you guys. When Eric saw the picture, he both burst out laughing and asked if I was really going to use that in the review post. This was the scene at our house during the first round… ![]() Well, I’ll be completely honest, because I know that’s what you would expect from me. While I wasn’t exactly sure what the kids would think of the game, they were up for giving it a try and I was ready to coach them and snap some pictures. Since the regular version of Scattergories has long been a favorite game of mine, I was thrilled to get a chance to try out the Scattergories Bible version recently thanks to Discount Catholic Products. ![]()
