Childhood Games, Class #1, Thursday
E-mails had handwavily been sent out to let the students know to meet in the Danger Shop, which was set up today to look like a playground. Lily was standing inside, smiling and waving them in, always glad to have a new class. Even if this one was a lot taller than what she was used to.
"Hi," Lily greeted them. "Welcome to Childhood Games. I'm Lily Aldrin, and I'll be your teacher for this workshop. Now, I do teach for a living, but it tends to be towards kindergartners. Which, okay, may be who I geared this class towards, but I figure, why can't you guys have some fun, right? Normally I want to meet outside by the campgrounds, because it's more fun, but that doesn't really work so well when you're in Antarctica. At least not if you don't want it to end in a clinic visit, which is not happening on day one. Also, one last note before we start, I don't have a TA yet, and this is the easiest class ever. If you want in, see me afterwards.
"For our first class, I want everyone to stand up and tell the class your name and something interesting about yourself. And then we're going to start off simple, playing a game called Telephone. If you're new to this planet, the telephone is a thing you use to talk to people when you're not in the same room with them that's not yelling. How you play is that one person starts off by whispering something in the next person's ear. Anything. It could be silly or serious, just please keep it clean. This is a playground today, you know. The one who heard it whispers what they heard to the next person, who whispers it to the next person, and at the end we see what we end up with. Any questions?
"All right, introductions first. Let's start with... you," she said, nodding at someone at random.
