Questions people ask
What categories of objects are there?
There are ten: household, kitchen, office and school, outdoors, toys and games, tools, clothing, sports gear, music and travel.
Are these real objects?
Yes. Every result is an ordinary thing you could find in a home, school or store, described with a generic name and no brands. Sports gear and music items work well for older kids.
How do I play the describing game?
One player reads the object silently and describes it without saying its name or rhyming words. The first person to guess takes the next turn.
Can I use this to practice drawing?
Yes. Common objects make good drawing practice because you can check your sketch against the real thing nearby. Set a timer for five minutes per object to keep it loose.
