Anime Scattegories

Looking for a new game to play with your anime club? How about a twist on a classic game? All you need is some paper and the die from Scattergories.

If you haven't played Scattergories before, it's very easy to learn. The game comes with cards that list a bunch of categories; things like Parts of a Car and Cartoon Characters. You roll the die and everyone madly scribbles down a word for each category that starts with the letter on the die before the timer runs out. If someone else has the same word as you, neither of you gets a point.

My list of anime categories is below. I created it based on what manga and anime were popular at my anime club; you could very easily adapt it to suit your teens. Print out a pile of the lists, and you can get as many games out of it as there are letters on the alphabet die.
