You can play it seriously or be a bit ridiculous, depending on the group you're with.

It's a card game kinda like Scrabble -- I used it to help my son with his spelling, but it was fun too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157905786947425443.post-37823258541858047642007-05-19T12:57:00.000-04:002007-05-19T12:57:00.000-04:00When I was in college, we played "Celebrate" and "...When I was in college, we played "Celebrate" and "Flies Do." I think one of my pals invented them but I'm not sure. They're the kind you can do in a car or in a waiting room or wherever--they're totally spoken. Part of the fun of "Flies Do" is that it's twofold. Like an old parlor game, there's a secret to it, and once you figure out the secret, you can play it on a different level.<BR/><BR/>To get you started: Flies do, but bees don't.<BR/><BR/>The way you determine if you're right is to give one back, like if you said, "Cars do, but bicycles don't," you'd get a WRONG! buzzer.<BR/><BR/>If you said, "Puzzles do, but games don't," you get a nod.<BR/><BR/>Now I'll be thinking of examples all day long!<BR/><BR/>JanetSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157905786947425443.post-10475987412796950562007-05-18T20:34:00.000-04:002007-05-18T20:34:00.000-04:00Some writer friends of mine introduced me to Liebr...Some writer friends of mine introduced me to Liebrary. It's a lot like Balderdash, but with first lines in novels instead of definitions. Great fun!

There's...I think the one we love the most is Taboo. There's this ticking clock, counting down the time and you have to get people to say the word without using the 'taboo' words. It's just hilareous and that clock, ticking louder and faster and finally BUZZZZ, it's just fast paced and fun.<BR/>We like Outburst, too and Cranium, they're all kind of the same. Apples to Apples. We usually have one or two good nights of game playing at Christmas and then rarely play again all year. That's a shame.Mary Connealyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598386111251769803noreply@blogger.com
