The Minister's Cat is fun to play and good for practising adjectives. Take it in turns to describe the cat using the letters A-Z. The Minister's cat is an adorable cat. The Minister's cat is a beautiful cat.....and so on. Try to use all of the letters of the alphabet. (A Minister is a kind of church leader, so you can change it to my neighbour's cat or whatever is suitable.) Have fun!

The classic game when you're bored is 'I spy'. It goes like this. You look out of the window, choose something that you can see, and say: 'I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with c'. Then everyone takes turns in guessing 'Cat?' or 'Cow?' or 'Car?' When someone guesses correctly, it's their turn to choose something and say a letter. It isn't very exciting, but it passes the time.

scrabble, it's old game, there are newer ones, I am sure
