    Anything to be said for kick starting a new forum game to help us pass the off season?

    Any ideas?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,681 ✭✭✭✭Deja Boo


    How about a Christmas Carol Scramble guessing game?

    Or maybe....we make up our own 12 Days of (whatever) Song?

    The person starting the song chooses a theme (valentines day, rudolph day, shopping, animals, decorations, food - anything) for the 12 days song, then the next poster adds one days item to the song (following the theme) by cutting and pasting the previous poster's paragraph and simply adding (just one) next days item. After the 12th day, the next person can change the subject ......did that make any sense?

    Like this...

    On the 1st day after Christmas, my diet said to me... where is that hidden tin of biccies?
    (and the next posters follow along with the same theme of diet/food)
    poster 2 wrote:
    On the 2nd day after Christmas, my diet said to me... let's eat 2 chocolate bars, and find that hidden tin of biccies!
    (or something like that :o) ...and so on, until the 12 days are done and we start a new song with a new theme.

    Sound like fun?

    .

    Sounds like a great idea - even though I'm not very poetic or musical:D:D
