Friday Five: GAMES!

In less than three weeks, my family, including children and their partners, will be gathering in Seattle, WA for 12 days. After various days in Seattle sightseeing and in Bellingham seeing family, we will travel to the coast of Washington State to spend three nights in a large rented house. With nine adults (from almost 20 years old and up), I am thinking that we need to have some activities pre-planned--like GAMES! (Any ideas will be appreciated.)

So this Friday Five is about games, so play on ahead. . . .

1. Childhood games?

2. Favorite and/or most hated board games?

3. Card games?

4. Travel/car games?

5. Adult pastimes that are not video games?

Bonus: Any ideas for family vacations or gatherings?

As always, let us know in comments if you play. Post a direct link to your blog entry in your comment using the following formulation in the comment box: what you want the link to say goes here For a complete how-to, click here.

Ideas for games and gatherings are here. I'm just back from visiting with family and friends; some very amateurish bridge (on my part at least) was the name of the game this time. Thanks for a fun play!

Am not sure I'll have time to post today, so if I don't here's a great adult game.

On individual slips of paper, have each player write the names of 5 people (living, dead, characters from tv/movies, animated, etc...you can set the rules). Drop these 5 names for each person into a hat. Divide into two teams. Alternating teams, each person gets one minute to draw a name out of the hat and have the rest of the team guess the person listed by the clues they give. If they still have time that minute, they keep drawing names. One point per name. Play to a certain number of points or until you run out of names or for a certain amount of time. Lots of flexibility.

It helps to come from the pre-video game era, plus being one of 7 kids!

I'm a party girl HERE!

I didn't play I haven't been well. It started on Tuesday when I had a sore throat. That night I developed a temperature. The following day I had a full blown cold, found it difficult breathing and I have had a headache ever since.

I have now called my GP three times and still haven't had access to tamiflu. I am quite annoyed but am probably too ill to do or say anything about it.

I am sleeping quite a lot and not sure that I will play this week.

Please do pray for my health.

A day late, but I played!
