As a child, whenever we were going on a long journey, in order to keep the kids occupied my Mum would suggest a game of “The Ministers Cat”. The youngest child would be first to start and would say for example “The Ministers Cat is an ANGRY cat”. Each player would take their turn in order of age (and possible degree of difficulty depending on the number of players). We would go through the alphabet until Z. If a player could not come up with a suitable adjective they would be out, although we would usually skip on X!

I have played this recently with my niece and grandchildren and whilst it’s good fun, it’s also good for their vocabulary.
