Now you’re getting to know me. And you know what that means—the good, the bad and the downright goofy. Yesterday some of you revealed how you pass the time on long car trips. Several days ago on our trip we hit a snag of traffic and I found it a perfect time to invent a new game. Understand, I’m not going for a patent, don’t really have intentions to develop this game and am about 70% positive a game like this already exists, but what else was a mind to do during that ugly glob of traffic?
Feel free to make guesses.
So here it is: Riddle Me People
I created words out of the names of famous people. The point of the game is simply to identify the per
son. Complicated, right? :D

I do these with my students at the end of the day when we're waiting for busses! so much fun. I'm pretty sure I know most of yours. Nice job!! I really like Catherine Heigl. :)

Lol, I've never heard of this but sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteWow! You are way more creative than me during long rides!!
ReplyDeleteVery inventive! We'll have to try that the next road trip. I suspect it'll reveal the generation gap between parents and kids.
ReplyDeleteHow about:

Hey, this is fun Wendy! Thanks, a new game.
I love this game! Reminds me of mad gab. :) *hearts word games of all sort*
ReplyDeleteAisle oh view too, Katie! I so belong in your 5th grade class!
ReplyDeleteJessica, yes, it was fun. Ask my husband--not so much. Wonder why I'm sharing it with all of you?
Jody, I bet not. I bet all your kids are quiet and play peaceful games b/c you've prepared ahead of time. :D
Eileen, good point. They may not know some of the old folks I put on there.
Karen, love the buy bull characters! That gives me an idea of a game to play w/ my kids--thanks!
Danyelle, I'm with you. Wendy + Words Forever or as my daughter would write Words = my BFF.
Thanks for being playful with me today. I was a lone soldier with this one in the car. Kids = too young. Husband = Not a lover of words.
Come click back in tomorrow for my thoughts on a powerful book!

Such brain power! Excellent and very fun stuff. On long trips, we like to sing way off key and at the tops of our lungs to music. I usually make a new 'trip cd' each time we take off somewhere.
ReplyDeleteHello to you,
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by...Your foot out the window? See I still need to balance, feet out windows might take that option away from me.
Good to see you, hope you are doing well.
