Double Ditto
Word Game
TNNSHS
A fun, quick game of thinking and matching.
Divide everyone who's playing into pairs. Each pair receives a score sheet.
- Pairs will take turns being the Ditto Master. Once the card has been read the Ditto Master flips the 15 second timer.
- Lets say the first card/prompt is "Things you forget to bring to camp". Each pair, including the reader, then has 15 seconds to quickly write down two answers that come to mind. For this card, answers may include: sleeping bags, toothbrush, flashlight, etc.
- With the reader going first, players then take turns reading their answers to the group. When an answer is read, any other players that have a matching answer should say "Ditto" and cross that answer off. For example, if the answer read is "flashlight" everyone who wrote "flashlight", including the person who read it, should say "Ditto" and cross it off their sheet. If no one else wrote "flashlight" it does not get crossed off.
- Continue around the group allowing each person to read their answers out loud, and each person to cross off matching answers ("ditto's"). The answers not crossed off on each players sheet should be answers that no other player wrote down.
- The player to the left of the Ditto Master becomes the next Ditto Master and and begins the next turn by reading a new card from the stack.
After all the answers are read, players add up their points.
- If one of your answers is crossed off, you got a "Ditto" and score 1 point.
- If both of your answers are crossed off, you got a "Double Ditto" and score 3 points.
- Pairs add up their scores at the end of the game and the player with the highest number of points is the winner.
