Silly Sally

Recommended age: 9-11, 12-14

This is a popular game that relies on your partner guessing a rule. One person,as Silly Sally’s friend, decides on a rule (e.g. Silly Sally only likes words with double letters). They start off with a few statements to set their partner on the right tracks:

“Silly Sally likes butter but not jam. She likes Halloween but not Christmas. She likes spoons but not forks.”

Their partner then may ask some yes/no questions about what Silly Sally likes until they are ready to guess the rule.
