Adaptations
1. Rather than collect cards, whomever’s sentence is chosen reads the next card.
2. Don’t keep score at all; just enjoy hearing everyone’s sentence.
3. Add a challenge word and encourage players to include it in their answers.
Conversation Starter (IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE)
Discuss actual safety measures around bears. One popular rule of thumb is “If the bear is brown, lie down; if the bear is black, fight back,” but make sure to research safety measures in the area you’re staying. Don’t forget to keep your food stored away safely as well!
Why This Matters
This game is perfect for fostering creativity. It’s also a fun way to introduce the family to a conversation about actual bear safety.
