for traffic jams, for walks and for a rainy evening

The usual word game is suitable for kids; if you already go to school - try your hand at more difficult options and learn how to beat your friends.
Let me remind you the rules of the usual word game. The first player names the word (only singular nouns in the nominative case). Suppose he said, "Oar." The last letter is O, so the next one comes up with a word that starts with O. The second player says "Fire". nine0011 Since not a single word in Russian begins with b, we take the penultimate letter - N.
It turns out a chain of words: Oar - Fire - KNIFE - Vest - Theater - Fish - Watermelon - Zebra - Pharmacy - Astra - Army.
But if you have mastered this variant of the game - here is a way in which you can completely wear down the enemy. In Russian, many words end in A, and soon it becomes more and more difficult to come up with more and more new words starting with A.
Some of the players prepare for each game in advance by storing words that start and end with A. nine0003
You can play this game orally, or you can build a pyramid of words starting and ending with A.
Arba
Astra
Pharmacy
ActressA

Another option: no matter what you are told, in response to come up with the name of a male resident of that country that begins with a given letter. They say "heron" to you - and you: "Japanese". You - "dial", and you - "Tuscan". The enemy is tormented by coming up with answers to "C", and you - learn a lot of names of cities and countries. True, there are a few words that begin and end with "C", so that your weapon can be knocked out of your hands and used against you. nine0003
You can play on the go or in transport in a similar game "What's OK - bring it to our house".
You can bring to TeremOK
mushroom,
PIE,
circle,
lock.
Can you think of something else to bring to TeremoK?

Five squares
If you have a place to sit down - this is the most difficult and at the same time fascinating word game, although it requires the simplest props: sheets of paper and pencils.
nine0003
This game is called "five squares", and at the very beginning of the game, everyone draws on their piece of paper squares 3 by 3 cells, 4 by 4 cells, 5 by 5, 6 by 6 and the last - 7 by 7. Then in each square, diagonally, we enter the same letter, for example, O, K or A.
Each player begins to invent ways to fill the squares with meaningful words in which the desired letter is in this place.
We write words horizontally, filling in the lines so that the given letter is in the right place. nine0011 For example, the word goat is entered in a 4 by 4 square in the last line,
and the word radio - in the second line of the 5 by 5 square.
The first player to fill all five squares announces a stop.
After that, the players read out the words they managed to come up with.
You can offer different options for glasses,
, for example, by the number of letters in all invented words.
You can come up with separate incentive prizes for original words.

We somehow looked at the top sales and realized that there are an incredibly many games for explaining words. And it's clear: these are simple rules, a funny process, you can play at any age and with almost any number of players, because you can always team up. Of course, in addition to the classics, there are new board games where you have to explain words, concepts and sensations in unexpected ways. We have collected the most popular and absolutely cool ones here. nine0003
Crocodile
Age : from 6 years
Number of players : from 3 to 16
This is a pantomime explanation familiar to everyone since childhood. There are already quite a lot of crocodiles: ordinary, on the road, for children (usual from 12 years old, and for children from 6).
There, words and phrases are written on cards.
Elias
Age : 5+
Number of players : 4 to 12
On the contrary, a game where words are explained with words, but without cognates. For rooms or situations where it is not very appropriate to stand and portray a tram, it is better to take such an explainer game. There are also a lot of them: from children from 5 years old to adults from 10 years old.
Bomb
Age : 14+
Number of players : 4 to 16
It combines two ways of explaining words, and even three are obtained: words, pantomime and one word. The third is the most difficult way, but after you have already explained the same cards to each other in two other ways, this one is easier, and by the word "beard" you can guess Tolstoy.
nine0003
Activity
Age : 4+
Number of players : 3 to 16
A very popular game in the West, which has already become almost a classic in our country. It also needs to explain the words in three ways that fall on the field: gestures, drawing, or explanation without cognates. There are versions for companies, on the road, and children's kits go as far as 4 years.
Equivoki
Age : from 10 years
Number of players : from 2 to 16
Let's take more! The Russian game Ekivoki offers to explain words in as many as 7 ways! Guess what? Ekivoki are kind, very beautiful and really funny. There is plasticine and the opportunity to show the talents of a tenor or soprano.
Valera time
Age : 16+
Number of Players : 3 to 8
When everyone played Equivoki and thought that the ways to show words and phrases were exhausted, we got the game Valera's Time. She soared to the top of the funniest games, queues lined up in stores, and publishers did not have time to produce rubber dolls. What? Ah, yes, here, another way is to explain words with the help of an inflatable male doll Valera. It is possible to burn the whole crowd.
Jaws
Age : 16+
Number of players : 2 to 4
An inhuman frenzy, from which it reduces the jaws. Again we use additional items: here these are expanders for the teeth. Here you need to explain the words, let's say, by putting a plastic thing into your mouth, which somewhat changes your diction.
Honey mushrooms
Age : 18+
Number of Players : 3 to 7
If you like the theater of one or two actors and absolute madness, try Honey mushrooms. Not mushrooms (from mushrooms, by the way, there is nothing like that), but a board game where you need to explain to one player (he is a doctor) what the other two show with gestures (they are your glitches). nine0003
Spoiler
Age : from 12 years old
Number of players : from 3
With a headband and a character card, you can transform into... anyone! You can become a real character or a fabulous one: Terminator, Nutcracker, Alexander Lukashenko. Now you need to guess who you are. Read to your friends the situations in which you find yourself, and try to understand from their answers what is written on your card. nine0003
