Fun with Magnetic Poetry

Grab a Magnetic Poetry box at the bookstore and go wild. Suspend what you know about good poetry and try for the funniest, most absurd, or just plain awful. Get a gang together and have a tournament.

The Dinner Party

Throw a dinner party or other casual gathering for a few friends. Play the kiddie game where one person tells the first few lines of a story, going around the table until each person has gotten to contribute a piece. Let the story wind and meander. Be creative and adventurous. Go around the table until the story is complete. Be sure to video/audio-tape it so that you can make a written transcription later. Put the typed-up version into an attractively decorated booklet and send to your guests as souveneirs of the fun!

Write a Story in Pictures

 Instead of a writing a story, create one using pictures you've found on the internet or in old catalogs or magazines. Then, ask a friend to guess the plot of the story! This is a fun game to do with close friends, family, or loved ones.
