Categories dash generator

A letter is drawn for each round and everybody races to fill the column — an animal, a job, something in the kitchen — with answers starting with that letter. Pick a category set, choose how many rounds, and print the score sheet.

Category setThe prompts are drawn from this set. The silly set is the short one, so twelve categories a round needs one of the others.

Same categories every roundClassic play: one column of prompts and a fresh letter per round, so you can read a row across. Switch it off and every round gets its own prompts and its own grid — a longer sheet, but no repeats.Sheet titleUS Letter paper

Quick guide

How to play

Print one sheet per player. Each round has its own letter already printed at the top of its column.
Set a timer, and everyone writes one answer per row — every answer in a column must start with that round’s letter.
Read the answers out. Score a point for each answer nobody else wrote, and add the round up in the Score row.
