This game is a real brain tickler. Test your friends or family members on their spider sense with this simple game.

Wow-To:

Step 1: The game host shares one of the spider super power facts below. The host explains that these facts may be real, true facts about spiders or they may be completely made up and false or fake. We have a few to get you started, but feel free to add more of your own and keep the game going!

Step 2: The game host asks the player, “Real or fake?”

Step 3: For every round they guess correctly, they get a point!

REAL OR FAKE? SUPER SHARP LEG HAIR IS A REAL SPIDER SUPERPOWER? (REAL- THE GOLIATH BIRD-EATING SPIDER CAN SHOOT SUPER SHARP, SPEAR -SHAPED LEG HAIRS AT PREDATORS TO AVOID BECOMING THEIR LUNCH.)

REAL OR FAKE? SOME SPIDERS CAN CONSTRUCT AN UNDERWATER BUBBLE. (REAL- THE DIVING BELL SPIDER, MY SCUBA DIVING HERO! IT LIVES UNDERWATER, BUT IT BRINGS AN AIR BUBBLE WITH IT SO IT CAN BREATHE!)

REAL OR FAKE? SOME SPIDERS CAN CLIMB OUT OF THEIR OWN SKELETONS. (REAL- SOME SPIDERS HAVE TOUGH EXOSKELETONS, WHICH THEY CAN SHED IN A PROCESS CALLED MOLTING. JUST LIKE WHEN A SNAKE SHEDS ITS SKIN!)
