Der Wortwal

Wh fnds fttng lttrs rlly quck?

Wh fnds fttng lttrs rlly quck? This is the task for this reaction game on words. Willi the word whale has not brought up all letters from the bottom of the sea and needs help. Each player stacks his two kinds of cards separately and in a way that the vowels are visible. In your turn you turn up the top cards of both your stacks at the same time – both cards now show consonants. The first player to name a word that can be formed using the consonants shown on both face-up cards wins both those cards. You can add or insert as many vowels as you like before, between or after the consonants. You can choose the order in which you use the cards, letters belonging together on a card like the German SCH may not be separated and you may neither delete nor add consonants.  You can use all word from the active vocabulary, which also comprises names, plural words or inflected forms of words. The player turning up the cards cannot name a word. If two players call out a correct word at the same time both of them receive one card each. If nobody finds a word, the cards go to the player who has turned up the cards.  When Willi the Whale shows a golden ring on one of his fins the cards go to the first player who calls out Ahoi!, but only the first time, because when the second ring turns up you must call out Ehoi!, for the third one Ihoi! And so on. When all cards have been handed out, the player with most cards wins.

The game provides good training for fast reactions and vocabulary as well as for language competence, pattern recognition and spelling abilities, too, and can absolutely be fun for adults as well.
