Title: Games for Get-Togethers
Post by: Mince on January 04, 2011, 12:33:28 PM
My students who write on my board often get together to play games and get to know each other. We play some of the games from Whose Line Is It Anyway, and we have scenes for them to act out. The problem is coming up with situations they know and can relate to.

For example:

Beauty has gone to the castle of the Beast to plead with him to release her father whom he has locked up.

A troubled and upset Maid Marion tells Robin Hood that she cannot take the strain of their relationship anymore.


Does anyone have any ideas for scenes?

Robin is trying to get into Nottingham Castle to rescue Maid Marion.  She has extremely long hair and has lowered it to Robin.  Robin is climbing up the side of the castle, just above the alligators in the moat (it's a fairy story) when Marion realises she cannot support Robin's weight.

Jealous also-ran quivers in his boots when the superior wit returns to put him in his place and reclaim his rightful position as funniest man around.

This one may be brilliant.

Mince, it is my understanding that  "get-togethers" are when people actually get together and share a room and some snacks and beverages not when they post on boards.

Or am I behind the times - are we having a get-togther right now? I should have done my hair shouldn't I.

That's my understanding as well.

Ooooops,  I must have been asleep for a couple of years and totally missed this 'funniest man around' - who was he? Can anyone give me a brief synopsis of his wit so that I'm up to speed?

Here's where I own up and admit that I HAVE missed Mince.








Not with EVERY dart mind, just the odd one or two...

How do you play who's line is it anyway on the board anyway?

Anyway, I've come up with a couple...

Quasimodo thinks he may have an ear infection
Little Red Riding Hood decides that she prefers mauve

And a couple more...

One of the Three Little Pigs wants to form his own breakaway group
Old King Cole woke up feeling a little under the weather

Aha! Some people on this board have not only missed Mince, but missed the qualifying words!

The US President is in the middle cubicle of the toilet and has run out of paper. Vladimir Putin is in the next cubicle and and the Iraqi President is in the other one. Obama must negotiate some toilet paper from these hostile countries before the poo dries hard on his bum.

A rookie skydiver is jumping tandem with a more experienced parachutist on his back. Problem is the other guy is suicidal and has decided he will not open their chute.

Malc, thanks so much for those ideas - they'll all be used.

My pleasure.

Here's another one. Two people who have never actually met before have to convince a tricky inquisitor that they are married to gain entrance to a country.

Bilthe, I can only assume someone is writing posts that my server blocks me from seeing, because it's like you're having a conversation with yourself. :D

Maybe your country has filters in place, Malc. That might explain why some of Bilgepump's posts aren't visible to you.

Sorry Malc.  just trying to be witty - and obviously not succeeding.  Just ignore me like everyone else.  I'm used to it now.

We don't ignore you. You're a valuable, and accepted part of the clique forum. Long may you remain so.
