HOW TO WIN
The judge turns over the story card and
places it where everyone can read it.
The judge reads Round
One aloud, then pushes the
button on the letter spinner
and calls out the letter.
All players – except the judge – write down
on the left side of their
secret word keepers
something to fill in the
first blank for Round
One. Use the letter on
the spinner to start the
word or phrase. If the letter is WILD( ),
players may write down something that
starts with any letter.
Close your word keeper and hand it
to the judge.
After you finish the story, add up your points. If you have the highest score,
you’re the winner!
Erase the words in your word keeper.
The player to the left of the judge is the judge in the next round.
Continue until you’ve completed all the rounds on the story card.

HOW TO PLAY HOW TO SCORE
GET READY FOR THE NEXT ROUND
The judge shuffles the closed word
keepers and passes them back. (It’s okay
to get your own word keeper – just be
sure to keep it a secret!)
The judge reads Round One aloud again,
then spins the spinner and calls out
the letter.
Write down on the right side of the
word keeper something that starts with
the new letter to fill in the second blank
for Round One. Close your word keeper
and hand it to the judge.
The judge opens the
word keepers and,
one by one, reads
the sentences aloud
using the words in
the word keepers.
