GAME DAY!!!!!

Week 5, Day 2

Today was Game Day!  We spent the whole class period playing games.  I brought a pack of cards to class but ended up playing Taboo and Trivial Pursuit (the Disney edition) instead.  I’ve never played Taboo or Trivial Pursuit before, so it was really fun playing those two games for the first time.  Taboo is a game that involves guessing the word on a card without saying the actual word or the five additional words that are on the card; saying any one of these words would be “taboo.”  I had lots of fun trying to figure out what clues to give for each word in a limited amount of time without saying something taboo — the game definitely got my creative juices flowing!  Trivial Pursuit is a game that involves answering trivia questions.  The objective of the game is to move around the board by correctly answering trivia questions.  We played the Disney edition of Trivial Pursuit, so all of the trivia questions were based on Disney movies.  I’ve seen most of the classic Disney movies multiple times (I have a pretty big collection of Disney videos at home), so I thought playing this game would be a piece of cake…so not true!  Some of the questions were super hard!  And for some reason, I kept getting questions about Hercules and The Rescuers Down Under, which are movies that I’ve only seen once and don’t remember much about.  My group members and I were laughing at how silly some of the Trivial Pursuit questions were.  There was a question asking what kind of hat did one of the characters (I couldn’t remember whether it was the butler of the milkman) wear in The Aristocats.  Does anybody actually pay attention to such minute details when watching a movie?  I guess that’s why the game’s called Trivial Pursuit.

Game Day was so much fun!  Professor Moss, if you’re reading this, can we please have another Game Day in class? :)
