Father’s Day 5 Second Game Rules
1. Determine a player to go first in the Hot Seat.
2. The player to the left of the Hot Seat player reads a question aloud. All questions begin “Name 3….” followed by the category.
3. As soon as the question is read, start the 5-second timer. The player in the Hot Seat has 5 seconds to give 3 answers. If the player succeeds, they get one point.
4. If the player can not name all 3 answers before the 5 seconds is up, no points are given and play moves to the next player on the right. That player now gets 5 seconds to answer the same question. However, they cannot use any answers previously given for that question.
5. Play continues until someone can name 3 answers in 5 seconds for that question and wins a point.
6. If play gets back to the original player without anyone getting the point, the original player gets one point.
7. Play continues around the circle with a different question. The player with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.
*If you are unsure if an answer is acceptable, the entire group may decide. See the end of the article for more gameplay variations we like to use!

Father’s Day 5 Second Rule Game Variations
The Father’s Day 5 Second Rule Game can be changed to add complexity or simplify it. The rules can be tailored to the group.
- Team Play: Instead of individual play, this game can be played in two-person teams
- Add Items: Players have to name 4 or 5 things instead of 3.
- Give Passes: Let a player opt to pass once per game. Then, that question can be discarded, and a new one can be asked.
- Adjust Speed: For a faster-paced game, decrease the time limit to 3 seconds. Or increase the time to 10 seconds to help young kids.
- Allow Repeats: In our family, we allow our kids to repeat answers the previous player gave when a question is passed to them. It keeps the game fun and less stressful!
