He Said, She Said

Alright, this is sort of an impromptu informational/humorous post. Sometimes we start worship a little early on Wednesday nights. That means we finish early sometimes too. Last night we finished with a little time left so we played a very simple game. He said She said. If you've never tried this game with your group before then you should. If you have a large group, I'd say more than 12 even, it works best to split your group up into smaller teams of 6 or so. Give each person a piece of paper and pen and ask them to write the beginning sentence of a story. They get to choose the sentence but that's all they can write. Once everyone has written something down make them pass their papers to the left or right. That person gets to write the next sentence and so on. So by then end of the game you have several stories that everyone has contributed to and they get pretty funny. This is a great simple time filling game to try because all the supplies you need are pen and paper.

All that to say, we played this game last night and I told our kids I would pick what I thought was the best story and post it here in the blog. So, here goes. By the way, this should be read in a British accent. 

One day, I got a new pet llama.

His name was Mr. Nibbles.

He had 6 legs and 4 eyes.

And he had giant wings and laser vision.

One day, Mr Nibbles got lost in the dark and ran into a trap. 

Mr Nibbles got up and ran into the woods and got attacked.

He was attacked by a giant, scary, very funny, mean beast of a basketball star named Bob.

Mr. Nibbles kicked Bob and got out of the woods.

He was very clumsy because he had 6 legs so he wasn't running very fast.

He died,,,,,

The end.

So you can see how crazy this can get, the students love it and it is a ton of fun. Anyone else ever used this activity? If you have, I would love to hear some of your funny stories!
