I’ve decided to start a weekly segment which is going to be all about the awesome time you can have… without spending all your hard earned cash! I know it’s tough to keep the bank account full when there are so many entertainment options that cost and arm and a leg.
This is a game that I played last week and is hilarious!
Step 1: Get a bunch of friends together! It is best when there are more than four or five people.
Step 2: Next, give everyone a stack of blank paper sheets. There needs to be the same amount of sheets as there are people playing the game. Then everyone must sit in a circle.
Step 3: The third step is where the fun begins. Everyone comes up with a phrase of some sort which they write down on the top sheet of paper. I wrote, “Time flies when you’re having fun.” But you can write anything you want. It could make sense or it could be totally off the wall. Do whatever you want.
Step 4: After you’ve written the phrase, pass your stack of papers to the left (with the phrase on the top sheet). Then the next person will place the phrase on the bottom of the stack and try to draw a picture representing what you wrote! This is where it gets crazy! The papers keep going around the circle of friends so that the phrases get interpreted as pictures and the pictures get interpreted as phrases.
Step 5: After all the sheets of paper have been used up and the stack that you started with has made it back to you, it is time to share what happened along the line. My phrase ended with a picture of a confused man staring at two fish swimming in a fish tank…
This is a great way to break the ice at a party or just get to know how your friends think. Basically it’s just another way of playing telephone. Only it’s way more fun!
