Basic Rules
For 1 player and up. Number a piece of paper 1-26. Going in alphabetical order, write a letter after each number. Choose a category from the ALPHABLITZ list, and write it at the top of your paper. Set a timer for 1 minute and 30 seconds then start filling in the blanks as fast as you can! Give yourself 1 point for each correct answer. For 2 or more players, the one with the most points wins! Tailor the rules and/or set boundaries to fit your specific needs.
