Printable Scattergories Game

Print these scattergories lists and scattergories cards including a Christmas scattergories list and more!

Scattergories is one of my favorite games to play with the family. We recently played with kids starting at 10 and up to adults and we had a blast. We didn’t have enough lists for all of us so I created these scattergories list printables and answer sheet printables in case you need more like us. I also created a bonus scattergories list printable for Christmas, New Year, Halloween, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, and Easter.

Scattergories Rules

How to play scattergories is pretty simple:

Make sure each player has a scattergories list and an answer sheet and something to write with.
Roll a dice like this with many letters to decide which letter to use.
Start a timer for 3 minutes.
Players try to think of words that fit in each category that start with the determined letter. Only one answer per category is permitted.
When the timer stops players compare answers. Any matching answers don’t count. Answers with double or triple letters, for example: Roger Rabbit, get double or triple points. Words modified with adjectives, for example: happy dog, for the letter H don’t count unless the adjective is a significant part of the answer. An example of an adjective that might count is: red cabbage because the red is a distinguishing part of the answer.

How long is the scattergories timer?

I timed our scattergories timer and it came to roughly 3 minutes.

Paper

I often get asked what paper I recommend. For regular copy paper this 5 ream case of paper is one of the better deals. For cardstock I really like this card stock paper on amazon. It is much cheaper than I have found in stores and has a good thickness for most projects without being so thick that it jams the printer.
