Pressure Project 3: Pen&Paper Game

Get a box!!!  

• From 2 Players to as many as you want!
• Ages 9 and up!
• Need pens or pencils!

1. One player takes a random book or magazine. Another player picks a page number, line number, and a word in that line. For example: Page 56, line 8, word 12. The other player picks the first letter of that word.
2. All players complete their cards with words starting with that letter. For example; if the letter is B, then you can write BMW for car, Bruschetta for food, and Barbara for name!
3. Whoever finishes the entire card first; shouts “stop”. All other players must stop writing.
4. Players say their words per category out loud – you get 10 points if no one else has written the same word, which means 5 points if someone else has written the same word as yours. 0 points if you didn’t write anything.
5. The top 3 players get to draw lines on the dots. The top score gets 3, the second place gets 2, and the third place gets 1 line. Whoever finishes their box first, wins!
