Sheep Drama

Remember the post titled ABC Drama? Well, that was a drama game, but it was only one of the many we're going to be doing this year.
Today we played four more, and they were really fun! I'll only describe one today. It was a game where three people sat in a line on the 'stage.' One of them said a word. BORING! But wait - it gets better. Then the next in line had to say another word. Patience, it does get better! And the words had to knit together to make a story — but each person was only allowed to say one word at a time. 
Here's an example:
Person 1: Yesterday
Person 2: I
Person 3: Went
1: To 
2: The 
3: Shops 
1: And 
2: I 
3: Bought 
1: A 
2: Sheep. (End of sentence.)
3: And 
1: The
2: Sheep 
3: Was 
1: Hairy. (End of  sentence.)
 2: I was
PERSON 2 YOU ARE OUT! 
Then another person takes the place of Person 2. Get it? The game was really, really fun, but it also got us thinking. Whenever we got too slow, Nicola would clap her hands impatiently, and we'd snap back to fast mode!

  1. What was the purpose of this game Izzie, apart from getting you to think quickly?
