Last weekend we had out-of-town guests at our home and decided to play Show Me the Kwan. It was first played by the older kids (ages 10 through 17) and then the adults got in on the action later that night.

Game Play:

Pick a player to keep score. The youngest player will go first to roll the dice and then players take turns rolling, play passing to the left. Make sure all players are ready before the dice are rolled because everyone plays at the same time and speed matters!

First player selects a category from a card and places it on the table. The yellow side has easier topics, the pink side is harder. The points are the same no matter which side you select. Roll the order die to determine the position of the letters.

Player rolls the dice onto the table. Turn the timer. Play begins immediately as everyone looks at the dice and tries to find words that match the letters. Make sure you match the words to the dice that indicates the 1st, 2nd, or last letter.

Simply yell out your word and take the matching die before the timer runs out. Make sure that when you take the dice, you keep the same letter up since this shows your points. Once the time is up or all the dice are gone, calculate the points based on the numbers on the letter dice. That is your score for the round. The player to the left starts another round by rolling again and play continues until you have a player reach 50 points.

The included instruction sheet comes with game variations that you can incorporate to mix things up and to always keep things interesting. This is one of those games that game play is never the same thing twice!

I really don’t know who enjoyed playing the game more. The older kids or the adults? Everyone really enjoyed the game! There was constant laughing the entire time it was being played. It really gets you thinking and keeps you on your toes. I think it’s great for the older kids to help with their spelling and reading while making learning fun.
