Spicing up games



The beauty of games



Hello there! So one thing I love to do when I am bored is play games.

 I grew up on board games and card games, so it is a wonderful pastime. Sometimes it gets a little boring just playing "normal" games so it can be fun to spice them up a bit.



Apartment Twister

 Example A: Apartment Twister. This is how you play it; get a Twister set... or rather the spinner you use to land on a color. Spread colors around your apartment, house, or room. Gather friends and start spinning a color. Instead of using the sheet of circle colors the players use colors they find around the apartment to put their feet or hands on, the rest of the rules are to be followed the same way. If you fall over you lose, if you take a hand or foot off a color,you lose. This game is great fun!

Telephone Pictionary

Example B: Telephone Pictionary. Most people have played telephone and most people have played pictionary, now combine the two. This is one of if not my favorite games. This is how you play: everyone playing gets a piece of paper. Everyone first writes a sentence; it can be a random sentence, it can be a lyric, whatever you want it to be. Then everyone passes their paper around the circle to the next person and the next person draws a picture from the sentence. They then fold the sentence and pass the picture around the circle to the next person. The next person has to write the first thing that comes to their mind that they think the picture is and then they pass it to the next person after folding the picture, and the next person draws a picture. This continues until you get your paper back. It is great fun and super silly. I now have a huge binder of wonderful telephone pictionary games.

Example C: Squirrel tag. I have friends that like to play tag... with squirrels. They try to trap the squirrels and tag them... they do not really succeed but it is very entertaining to watch. When I partook in this game I was afraid that I would get bitten and get rabies, but it was still fun.

Example D: Campus tag: Tag someone on your campus, start running and hope that it causes a huge chain reaction.

Example E: Duck duck goose... A lot of times when I see people standing in circles I like to just start walking around that circle and tapping them on the head and playing duck duck goose, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but it is great fun when it does.

These are just a few wonderful pastime games. If you are bored and have friends gathered I urge you to try a game out or if you want to try something goofy at school try out one of the big group games.

Enjoy!
