Step 2Licensed to Spell.
This game is based on license plates. It requires pencil and paper to keep track of scores.
One contestant calls out the letters of a passing car's license plate. The other contestants then have to call out a word with all those letters in it in the same order as on the plate.
Everybody who makes a word gets points, one for each letter of the word (so long words score more).
Players take turns to be the license-plate caller.
If nobody can make a word, a challenge is raised. The contestant who called the plate letters in the first place must then come up with a word. If they can, they get 10 points and another go. If they cannot make a word, everybody else gets 5 points, and the next contestant takes a turn at calling the letters.
Alternative rules
Instead of words, you call phrases where each word begins with a letter of the plate. Since everybody's phrases will be the same length, the first to call a phrase gets three points.
We sometimes also give a bonus of 10 points to any player who can make the driver (me) laugh out loud at a phrase.
If players are poor spellers, you can rule that the letters can be in any order, or award a point for each letter included in the word.
