Parlour Games, Friday, 6/07
The classroom had its usual comfortable configuration with a table of sweets and beverages off to one side, and Jack at the front of the room. If he looked cheerful, it was mainly because he did not have to sleep in a bouncy castle.
"Today, we're back to the games," he said. "Specifically, word games, or games that use language as a toy. Today's game is called The Minister's Cat. I describe the cat with an adjective starting with A, and then we move around the circle to talk about the creature with words starting with B, C, D, and so forth. So, for example, if I said the minister's cat was an amazing cat, the next person might say it's a beautiful cat, and the third that it's a creative cat. If you take too long to think of an adjective, or if you repeat one we've used before, you're out. So to start, the minister's cat is an adorable cat."
And then he gestured to the person on his left, clearly waiting for them to pick it up.
