Series : What’s the name of the game?
Even though it’s summertime and we should all be outdoors walking, playing games, swimming or picnicking and generally having lots of fun, there will be days that are rainy. If you live in the UK, rain is certainly something that shouldn’t depress you or be unexpected! It’s something we’ve all come to accept.
On a rainy day, playing board games, card games and table-top games is the perfect way to have fun with friends and family indoors – in a tent, caravan, living room or hotel room!
If you have time, you can play quizzes too and I’ve devised a quiz called “What’s the name of the game?” whereby I describe a well-known game – it can be a board game or a game of tennis – in 5 or 6 clues and you have to guess the name of the game before you get to the last clue. The winner is the person who guesses the quickest.
The answer to each quiz is at the end of the clues, so who ever’s reading out the clues can’t play that round! I’ll be publishing some new “What’s the name of the game?” quizzes over the next few weeks so watch this space.
