Verbal Games. on 2007-03-02
Hands down, best verbal game ever.
You need a watch, a good sense of humour, players and then a few extra people, who aren't taking part.
Ask an extra, non playing, person for a noun, for example "tree".
All the the players now have to think of a joke in 30 seconds which incorperates that noun.
There is no winner, but you have a good laugh.
EXAMPLES:
Noun: "Tree"
Joke: "What type of tents do plants like to sleep in? A TREE-pi." / "What's a TREE's worst enemy? A gust of wind."
Noun: "Ball"
Joke: "What is a BALL's favourite flower arrangement? A hanging basket." / "One BALL says to another 'do you want to play cricket?' and the other replies 'yeah! I love ball games'"
Noun: "Bean"
Joke: "What do you call the father of a family of vegetables? Mr. BEAN." / "What do you call a sick BEAN? A green bean."
Noun: "Pencil"
Joke: "Why did the decetive take a PENCIL to work? So he could draw a conclusion." / "When can you rub someone out? When you've PENCILed them in."
Noun: "Book"
Joke: "Why are there two halves of a BOOK in a shop? Because the prices were slashed." / "There are a family of BOOKs on a long car journey. One book says to another 'when are we going to get there? We've been going on for pages.'"
Anyway, that's all I can remember for now. But seriously, it's an ingenious game if you're bored.
