Think Fast
Description
Directions: Before playing, decide on a time limit i.e. 10, 20, 30 seconds. Turn over a category card and player 1 has the designated amount of time to list something that fits within the category. If player 1 is able to list an item before time runs out, color in one of the squares under player 1. Take turns alternating between players, and the first player to get all 10 boxes colored in is the winner.
Strategies and techniques
Alternate: After the category card is turned over or read allow both players to try to be the first one to list an item in the category. Whoever states an item first gets to color in one of their boxes. Play until one player has all 10 boxes colored in.
