Hangman is a classic word guessing game that's fun for people of all ages. Here's how it works:
Players: 2 or more (can be played individually or in teams)
Equipment:
- Paper and pencil
- Or, a digital version of the game (many apps and websites offer Hangman)
Gameplay:
- One player secretly chooses a word or phrase.
- The other player(s) try to guess the word by suggesting letters one at a time.
- For each correct guess, the player reveals the letter's position in the hidden word.
- For each incorrect guess, the player draws a part of a stick figure (usually starting with the head and working down to the feet).
- The game continues until:
- The guessing player(s) guess the word correctly before the stick figure is complete. In this case, they win!
- The stick figure is complete. In this case, the choosing player wins.
Tips:
- Choose a word length appropriate for the skill level of the players.
- Players can take turns guessing letters, or one player can guess the entire word at any time.
- Strategic guessing can help you narrow down the possibilities and avoid drawing too many body parts.
- For a more challenging game, keep track of the used letters so you don't guess the same ones twice.
