Daily Idea #281: 20 Questions

20 questions is a favorite in our family. Whenever we’d be out and the kids would start to get antsy, we’d play this game. It would keep them engaged and close by and the actually ask to play more often than not. The funny thing is, my kids now comment on seeing other kids playing on electronics and can’t figure out why they don’t also play some of these brain games…

To play, we usually stick with a theme so that it makes the game a little bit easier to start asking questions. One person thinks of a character or object; the rest of the people playing take turns asking yes or no questions to find out more about the character or object and eventually guess what it is. You can stick to the “20 questions” that is the name of the game, but we usually don’t keep count of the questions. If the character or object is too difficult to guess, then we give in.
