Name 3 things game

Read the prompt out loud, start the countdown and name 3 before time is up. Silly answers count if they fit!
The prompts come from Joynite’s 5-Second Rush deck, checked for each age. Kids aged 6–8 get 8 seconds. For turns and scores per player, play 5-Second Rush. Nothing is saved.

Ideas for using it
- Dinner table or car: take turns drawing a prompt; the whole family counts and judges.
- Split into two teams; naming all 3 scores a point (pair it with the score keeper).
- Classroom: a quick warm-up, call students up one by one.
