Who the kids pack suits

This is the easiest pack in the Imposter Game, written for young players around five and up, as well as mixed groups where some children are still learning to read. Every word is something kids see every day: pets, colours, toys, food, weather and family. Grown-ups can read the word aloud to a child who needs help, as long as nobody else is peeking.

Sample rounds and clues

Dog vs Cat. "Pet", "fluffy" and "four legs" fit both, so kids learn how to give a clue that does not give everything away. "Barks" is a giveaway.
Sun vs Moon. "In the sky" and "round" are both safe. "Night time" or "hot" will tell everyone which word you have.
Swing vs Slide. "Park" and "fun" fit both. "Go down" or "push me" are clues children love to argue about.

Other favourites: Teddy Bear vs Doll, Dragon vs Dinosaur and Train vs Aeroplane.

Tips for playing with young children

Start with Classic mode. The imposter is told they are the imposter and may get a small hint such as "A pet", which makes it much less confusing for little ones.
Move on to Undercover mode once kids understand the idea of giving a "not too obvious" clue.
Keep groups small at first, around three to six players, so rounds stay short.
Add custom words like your child's favourite toy, a family pet's name or a local park.

When children are ready for a little more, try the animals pack or cartoons.
