One player reads out a question to the others. They each write down a made-up, but believable answer and hand it to the person who read the question. This person then reads out the REAL answer and all the made-up answers, in random order. The others must guess which is actually correct.
How many people do you need to play Balderdash?
Balderdash requires one person to be the dasher, or guesser, and the others to be the writers. In theory you can play with two people, but you would just guess between one person's answer and the real/correct answer. It's a game that's best with 4 or more people, but can be fun with 3.
How do you play Balderdash in class?
The teacher chooses cards she feels the class would appreciate. She will read the word aloud, and then write in on the board. The helper gives out pieces of paper, to write down the fake definitions. After they are done, the definitions are handed in, and students take a vote on which one they think is the real one.
