If the children are small or if there are many participants, you can also play in pairs. It is a game that stimulates rapid reasoning and vocabulary. Each player must have a sheet and a pen and on the sheet, columns are drawn with the various categories. Once the letter has been identified, in a certain time (to be decided also on the basis of the age of the participants) the players must write a word for each category.
The word must obviously begin with the chosen letter. The first to write a word for each column says "stop" and determines the end of that turn.
The scores are therefore established:2 points if the word is correct and no other player has used the same word1 point if the word is correct but other players have used that word0 points if the word is misspelled or no word could be spelled for that category. The player with the highest score wins; the last to arrive will do penance.
We decide on a letter of the alphabet that cannot be pronounced and which will be the poisoned letter. This letter must not be present in any of the spoken words. For example, it is decided that the poisoned letter is F.
Questions are asked. For example: "what fruits and vegetables do you like", "what sports do you know", "what are the colors" ...
The memory game improves memory skills, concentration, and visualization. You can play the memory box game. In this case, you have to make pairs.
You can also play with stickers or a deck of cards. In this case, the face-up cards are placed on the table. You give yourself time to memorize them and then they turn around.
The player takes turns choosing a card and before turning it over he must say which card it is. If he guesses correctly, he takes it and continues the game. If he loses, he turns it over and the turn passes to another participant.
Or you can tell them everyone’s age and you can give them to memorize the birthdays and after some time you can tell anyone to ask others how old am i today.

It is established what will be the object of the riddle: it can be a number, an animal, an object. A child has to think about what he has established and can write it down on a piece of paper. Others have to guess what he thought, with a few questions as possible.
You can play as many as you like. The first player says "the minister's cat is ...." and must say an adjective that starts with the letter A and then says "his name is ..." and must say a proper name that always begins with the letter too.
