Overview[edit | edit source]
If your kids are like mine they're very excited when they get to play a game with the pyramids. In my house this game is really the reward of holding pyramids while playing a word game with parents.
Setup[edit | edit source]
Place one pyramid of each available color in the opaque bag or box.
Each Round[edit | edit source]
- New Rule An adult chooses a secret rule. Use any rule you think the kids would enjoy. Example rules I have used:
- The statement must rhyme.
- The choice must match the first sound of the drawn color.
- Draw Each player blindly draws a pyramid at random.
- Round Each player in turn says "I have <this color> and I like <something>." If the <something> they name matches the rule they win a point, otherwise they don't. The points are not tracked: they are only for immediate feedback.
- Guessing A player who has won the point a few times or looks excitedly like they've figured out the rule may be asked to guess the rule.
Winning[edit | edit source]
There is no winning. Keep playing while everyone is still having fun. The point is to have fun while exploring relationships between spoken words.
