Human Boggle – Interactive Word Game
- In advance, visit the Resources tab to download a set of Print+Play alphabet letter cards, or make/collect your own.
- Place the set of alphabet cards face-down on the floor.
- Form two or more teams of 2 to 6 people.
- Instruct each team to nominate a runner.
- To begin, ask each runner to randomly select 9 cards from the pile.
- Lay all 9 cards in a 3 x 3 grid in front of their team.
- 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.)
- When ready, challenge each team to identify as many words as possible using the letters in the grid.
- Words can only be formed by tracing letters that are situated horizontally, vertically or diagonally next to the letter before it.
- Allow three to four minutes of play.
- The team that forms the most number of words wins that round.
- 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.
