I'm writing this one, cause one of the blogs that I follow is Forty-Two^3 (I'm not sure how to get the tiny 3 up there... whoops), and those girls made a post about party planning and I mentioned a game that my friends and I like to play called Fish Bowl!!!! And hey friends if you're reading this! *waves* Hope ya'll don't mind me sharing this awesome game with the world! XD Not that many people read this... but eh.
Ok, so fish bowl, is like charades, but it has three stages. It starts off by everyone writing down a word or phrase, up to 4 words long, on a piece of paper and putting it in some kind of container, a fish bowl perhaps?? Eh? XD And ya'll can do as many as you want depending on how many players there are. Oh, you also partner up! It's played in teams of two, though I guess if you had a lot of people you could play in more than just two. So you've all paired up and you got phrases written down and they're in a bowl thang, then you sit in a circle and across from your partner.
In the first round one team member picks up a word/phrase and gets to describe it using words, other than whats written down, and the team member has to guess. You get 30 sec, or a min, whatever you want and you have to guess as many as possible.
The second round, you can only use one word or sound. Only one! And its the first word or sound that escapes your mouth. But you can say that one word or sound as many times as you need to.
The third round is straight up charades.
The thing about this game though, is that after all the words and phrases are used up, you recycle them and continue to rounds two and three. So even though its harder to get the word or phrase across, you've already heard all of them so you just have to dig around in your brain for the answer.
So yeah! I think that's all... Maybe if I forgot something I'll just make a comment or something. But its super fun! And it gets kinda cray! And its' great if you and your friends have a lot of inside jokes and stuff.
Have fun and talk to ya'll later! :P
This sounds so fun! Should definitely try playing these games....thought it probably wouldnt work with the three of us considering we need quite a number of people. Maybe we'll introduce this game to our other friends and we could play it together when we hang out or something. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the more people, the better, though, I think that 8 is the most we've played with :) And You're welcome!!
