Games for Get-Togethers
« 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.

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.

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.
