Chatterbox: Down to Earth

GAMES!!! We all

GAMES!!! We all love them!!! Post a good game and its rules that you think is awesome! It can be a board game, or just a game! :) ex: Human Clue: Put kitchen utensils around the house. put little tea candles (WARNING! GET A ADULTS PERMISSION BEFORE YOU LIGHT THEM) next to them and turn off ALL lights! Draw letters M= Maniac, D= detective, C= civilain,  out of a hat, DO NOT LET PEOPLE SEE YOUR PAPER!!! :) Maniacs try to hand someone a kitchen utensil. If they get handed one, they are "dead." The detective tries to figure out who the maniac is before the maniac kills all the civilians! This game only works at night!

back to the Down to Earth

That is somewhat like the game I play, "Murder in the Dark", but WAY more complicated!!!  :)  In this game, so everyone can participate, have an adult or person who doesn't want to play choose a player, while all the players heads are down.  [Choose by tapping player on shoulder without letting anyone else hear or see]  Then picker says go.  All the players run around outside where ever they want to.  Objective of the game:  The player tapped is the murderer.  The murderer must tap other players and say "you're dead" without anyone else seeing.  If someone sees and has evidence, then the murderer is revealed.  Can't make accusations unless you SEE proof, then just shout it out, "_____ is the murderer!!!"  Players that were "killed" must go sit in a place, a deck or trampoline, anything, really, and not say anything to the people still 'alive' and in the game.  

If you have any questions about this game, I'd love to answer them.  This game is more fun in the dark... so you get your scary feel when a 'murderer' is about, but can be played in daylight, too, if desired.  Great game!!!!!

I have a few really fun games! Here they are.

1. Sardines. This is best played with at least five people, preferably ten or more. One person is chosen to be it, and the rest count to fifty. The person that is it hides somewhere (not behind a door!). Then everyone else looks for the person. When they find her, they hide with her. The goal is to be as quiet as possible so that everyone else can't find you. It is so hilarious!

2. Skuttlebutt. Play with at least ten people, preferably a lot more. Arrange chairs in a circle. Make sure there are as many chairs as people. The chairs are facing in. Everyone except two people sit on a chair. The person that is it stands in the middle of the chairs. One other person stands outside the circle and calls left or right. All the people in the chairs have to scoot that direction, and the person in the middle has to try and sit in the empty chair. When she manages it, the person that didn't move quick enough gets sent to the middle.

I have a couple more, but they would take too long to explain.

That's neat! :) That first one sounds like a reverse

version of hide-and-seek.

EEEEEK!!!  I LOVE SARDINES!!!!  THAT'S THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D Phew, okay, I'm better now... :) The first time I ever played it was, ummm, my second year of camp, and since I was finally in Group 2 (yaaaay!), the middle school group, I got to stay up later.  On Friday night, we (as in all of Group 2, as in about 100 - 200ish people) all got together outside and played Sardines!!  In the end, nobuggy found him!! :) He was hiding underneath some steps leading up the outdoor stage (ugggh, I REALLY want to say the name of the stage, because it's wicked awesome, because it has part of the camp's name in it, because the camp's name is wicked awesome!!!!), and supposedly some kids walked right over him! :) Course, the next year, we played Find the Wolf, which is kinda like Sardines...

FIND THE WOLF - 'Kay, so everybuggy's outside, preferrably ten or more peoples.  One dude, The Wolf, runs off and hides, while counting to, umm, I can't remember...  Let's just say 100. (I'm probably waay off, so correct me if you know) Then, he howls like a wolf.  When the peoples hear the first howl, they can go off and start to look for him.  He continues to move, and, every 100 seconds, he howls.  When somebuggy finds him, the game's over.  Works best at least at 10:00 P.M.  The later the better.

Annnyway, we played it at my third year at camp, and some kid (grrr.. Nick... :P) followed The Wolf at the beginning, so about three seconds after The Wolf howled for the first time, he "found" him, and the game was over... :P But, oh my gosh, this year, when we played it, Micheala and I found a porcupine in the tennis courts!!!!  We screamed SOOO loud!!! :D

There's a game I play called poachers.  Well, people pick if they want to be a poacher/hunter thingy, or a tiger/cat thingy.  So, the poachers have sticks, or something that could be used as a gun.  Not a real gun, just stick or something.  This game is more fun in the dark.  When the "tigers" move, the "poachers" can see them.  When they don't move, the poachers can't see them. So they have to freeze so the poachers won't kill them.  The poachers have to make a "bang" sound when they point a gunat the tigers.  if your a tiger that gets pointed at with a gun and you hear a bang sound, you drop to the ground and die.  So, then, after the poachers "kill" all the tigers, the game is over. 

If that didn't make sense, then it's my fault, I am not good at explaining things.  I have a other game, but I'll type that later.
