Hangman Hangman is a classic word game that is played in a similar way to the popular TV show 'Wheel of Fortune.' Instructions: This is a game for two players, a host and a guesser.The host chooses a word or short phrase and the guesser must guess it before the unfortunate character is 'hanged'We give you 24 letter spaces. The host should black out the unneeded spaces, leaving the correct number for their word. If they choose a phrase, they should also black out the spaces between the words of the phrase.The guesser begins to guess letters. For example, they may ask "Is there an A in this word?"If that letter is in the word, the host writes in all the places it appears.If that letter does not appear, the host fills out a dotted line on the hangman diagram.At any point, the guesser may guess the word. If they are incorrect, another line is filled out on the hangman.If the hangman is completed (which takes six missed guesses), the guesser has lost. If the guesser guesses the word correctly before the hangman is completed, they win.Variation - if you're playing with children who might need more guesses, they can also draw a sad face on the hangman.A great way to niche hangman is by adding themed word lists at the back of the book for the host to choose from. For example, animal words, technical jargon or words in a different language. Hangman is a popular game to play in school because it helps kids to practice spelling.Be aware that some people do not enjoy the visual imagery of Hangman. If you enjoy creating your own interiors, you can make other simple diagrams such as snowmen, fruit trees or cars.
