Human Boggle – Interactive Word Game
  1. In advance, visit the Resources tab to download a set of Print+Play alphabet letter cards, or make/collect your own.
  2. Place the set of alphabet cards face-down on the floor.
  3. Form two or more teams of 2 to 6 people.
  4. Instruct each team to nominate a runner.
  5. To begin, ask each runner to randomly select 9 cards from the pile.
  6. Lay all 9 cards in a 3 x 3 grid in front of their team.
  7. If no vowels are present in the grid, a team may turn any one of their nine cards over to become a vowel as nominated by you (the facilitator.)
  8. When ready, challenge each team to identify as many words as possible using the letters in the grid.
  9. Words can only be formed by tracing letters that are situated horizontally, vertically or diagonally next to the letter before it.
  10. Allow three to four minutes of play.
  11. The team that forms the most number of words wins that round.
  12. Play two or more rounds, shuffling the letters between each round, or try a variation.

    Great adaptation of a classic game. Looking forward to using this puzzle type activity with groups. That would be super cool to use on these wet rainy days or as a filler too as the game is essentially unending with the combinations of cards that can be created.
