I want to play a homemade version of Pictionary at my Sunday party. I have a large whiteboard. Now I am up trying to think of good christmasy things. At the most, there will be 14 adults at the party and three teens and my nine year old.
I could think for myself (or I could google but they wanted $6.99 for the right to download the Pictionary playing cards.) so I thought you guys might come up with some good really good ones and then we can all use the game over the holidays.
I will start a list:
Jingle Bells
Snowman
Egg Nog
-
I'd love to help, Diane. But what's 'Pictionary'?
-
North Pole.
Elves.
Sleigh.
That's it. Any more and I'd have to bill you.
-
At the risk of coming over all religious fundamentalist;
Star (a bit easy)
Manger
If you really wanted to make the final 'All Play' a toughie, try throwing in frankincense :)
-
I'm inspired! Pass the Parcel or you could even make it Pass the Christmas Parcel.
-
Fairy,
decorations
mistletoe
Santa,
Christmas pudding
ho ho ho (draw a prostitute with "x3" next to her).
carols
snowballs (if mere circles won't do - draw a snowman with testicles).
three wise men
star in the east
bethlehem
shepherds
Oh, I nearly forgot -
massacre of the innocents
-
Vuture - you break into two teams. Each person on the team takes turns drawing a picture on the whiteboard then the others guess what it is. (It is also a real boxed game you can buy.)
Whores and testicles - I should have spent the $6.99
-
I hate Pictionary. The opposition always get the answer before I've even finished my initial pencil sketch. >:(
-
Draw "foibles" for me, Tarks.
-
Reading this thread again I realise that I was an ungrateful git and there were some good suggestions in there too.
Thanks.
-
Here are some suggestions from me, Diane:
Pictionary
Mistletoe
Mince Pie
The Wizard of Oz
Gift Tag
Goodwill
Cheer
Little Donkey
Christmas Day
The Queen's Speech
Candy Canes
Coloured Lights
Baubles
Angels
Gift Wrap
Secret Santa
Sleeping
Truffles
Cliff Richard
Hope they help... :)

Draw "foibles" for me, Tarks.
From which angle?
-
Just a plan drawing will do.
-
Just draw a foy, then some balls afterwards. Sounds pretty straightforward to me. ..0
-
But a foible is the weaker part of a sword, from the middle of the blade to the prick at the top.
I'll leave that with you.
-
...a cutting or thrusting weapon that has a long metal blade and a hilt with a hand guard...
...a behavioral attribute that is distinctive and peculiar to an individual...
More tea, Vicar...? :-[ Easy.

Tarks, the "prick" should have been seen as read in Peepmaster's post before yours. Peepmaster does try and credit the readers with some sense and understanding. See here (http://board.beaupeep.com/index.php?topic=1067.msg17150#msg17150).

I was asked to take part in a serious Pictionary comp once, and the team who secured my services were convinced that they now had a Ronaldo of Pictionary in their team.
They were wrong. I think we came last.
I was trying to draw a nifty cartoon every time, and we were beaten by people drawing stick men. The idea isn't to draw nifty cartoons, just get a word into the minds of your team as quickly as possible, Stick men will do fine.
Mind you, the "ho ho ho" idea I put up there would be a good one for a cartoonist. Hard to draw a stick ho.

Oh, dear - that looks like a challenge to me.
Malc, that's exactly the point I was making earlier. If you want a game that's even slower than chess, get a bunch of cartoonists to play Pictionary.

The party went well besides the weather. It was around the -30 Cs . Three out of the seven couples cancelled due to the weather - but we still had a great time with the pictionary, and the antler/karoke game.
Thanks guys. ;D

Thank goodness this was just yet another fabricated biblical story - or that would have really awful. Even as a kid I thought that Jesus had pretty miserable parents to sneak away to Egypt and leave all the other baby boys to be slaughtered.
National Gegraphic features the historical record of Herod this December.
-
Well he may have been the world's worst choice as a babysitter, but he did design some pretty impressive improvements on the Jerusalem temple...
-
The Bible allowed the ancient Jews to get round the old adage that history is written by the winners, because they used it to trash the reputations of people they didn't like. The Pharaohs didn't build the pyramids with slave labour (thought the pyramids aren't mentioned in the Bible, I know) and the exodus from Egypt is now thought to be a myth too.
I shouldn't have to say "I'm not anti semitic, but..." but I thought I would.
I'm not an anti semite, though I'm also not a fan of Zionism, but I don't want to open up a can of worms there on this generally well-adjusted board.
Suffice to say there are hundreds of thousands of Jews in the world who are not fans of Israel either.
-
From what I have read, the return from exile in Babylon saw the Jews split between the stricter, cultic Zionists and those who spiritualised the religion (perhaps that has carried on and therefore explains the attitude of your friends).
Those that did return to Judah and rebuilt the temple (see the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai and Zechariah) made a whole-hearted effort but it bore no resemblance to the opulent structure that Solomon created.
When Herod the Great appeared on the scene, he went about an upgrading project which saw it restored to something closer to its former stature.
I've read some stuff about the doubts over the exodus too. My conclusion was that a lack of archaeological evidence for an event is not evidence that it didnt happen. Also, the exodus was where the law was given to Moses and the religious expectations of the nation were made known. The people could all trace back forefathers to this time, and so if this was a myth, then a) everyone would know about it, and b) why would they all make life so difficult for themselves by adhering to a system of worship which was so difficult and costly?
That said, I'm probably unaware of the whole argument and, to be fair, this is probably getting a bit dull for the gag-hunters :)
-
My problem is accepting the whole forty years in the wilderness thing. The distance between Egypt and present day Israel is about 250 miles, the same as from my mum's to Manchester. I used to drive it in four and a half hours.
-
They were made wander around in the wilderness for 40 years to kill off a generation of the nation who had been sinful and ungrateful.
I remember seeing one of Bestie's sketches on a birthday card where Moses had parted the sea and he was saying to the person next to him, 'What do you mean it's a bit muddy?' :)
Hilarious as I found it, it's not that far from the behaviour of the Israelites in the book of Exodus, with their, 'What?! Manna again?!' attitude.
-
But how did Moses get twelve stone tablets down from the mount?
How did he knew how many tablets to take.
Who helped him?
We all knew that taking to many is a serious health risk.
Was a Risk assessment done before he went.
Did he take hammer and chisel with him.
What happened if he went wrong did he have any spare tablets.
These are the question that we need to know the answers to.
-
It could be the next competition. ..0

The best Moses cartoon I've ever seen (can anyone tell me the artist?) is:
Moses is standing like Charlton Heston, staff uplifted, waters collapsing, mayhem ensues, chariots engulfed, Israelites fleeing, thunder and lightning crack the skies...
Behind him, Mrs Moses is saying to her friend "at home he just lies there".

:D :D :D :D

The last party went so well that I am doing another one today. Same menu, same games - different people. THe last one was for our neighbours who are farmers so there was a lot of talk about animal diseases and such which kept my hubby happy. THis one is more for my friends.
I am going to print out the game questions again and once again will be thinking of you lot at my party tonight. :-) But this time I will use a larger font size as I found last time that most of our friends are all getting blind as bats in their old age.
