Party games

  • Scattergories / Categories: generate a letter; everyone lists items in each category starting with it.
  • Stop!: race to fill name, place, animal and thing.
  • Alphabet story: each sentence starts with the next random letter.

In the classroom

  • Phonics drills: say the letter sound and three words that start with it.
  • Vowels-only mode for early readers.
  • Spelling bees with random starting letters.

Avoiding tricky letters

Q, X and Z can stall a game. Choose “Consonants only” or simply regenerate when a letter is too hard — house rules are part of the fun.

Pro tips

  • Show one big letter on a projector for the whole room.
  • Generate a batch for several rounds in advance.
  • Combine with the Random Word Generator for harder challenges.
