Story Shmory, a Game that my Sister Made Up!

So recently my sister made up a new game. (though I made up the name) And it's fun! So how do you play it? First, you need an even amount of people. (2, 4, 6, 8, etc) (although we usually have 2) Next, you need a piece of paper and a pencil for each player. Now on to how exactly do you play it. First, each player writes down a set of words, usually 5-10. (it can be any word, even proper nouns!) Next, the players swap papers. Then each player writes down a story based on the words that are written down by another player. After every player is finished, they tell their stories to everyone. When we do it, they're usually pretty funny! Oh, did you not understand that completely? Here's an example that we filmed.
 
So yeah. Story Shmory is a fun game. See you next week!

The Science Fair!

(Sorry about my long absence. For one thing, the computer wasn't working. Another thing was I was like "Nah, not gonna write about Superbowl") So for a while my sister had been working on a science project. It was about whether hamsters and rabbits had good memory or not. So she and her friend made a maze with food at the end. And that project was for a science fair that was going on at the church. Yesterday we went there and there were a lot of interesting things! Like for example there was an exhibit on Alexander Gram Bell that had a few of those homemade cup-and-string phones. The kid who worked on it let me try them out and what I said through it was "This is the CIA. You owe us money." LOL. They had us vote on which was the best exhibit and I voted for a volcano display! So after that there was a bunch of speeches. One of them was a comedy speech about how grown-ups make these rules for different reasons than they tell us. For example, "They say you should eat lots of vegetables because they're healthy. But the real reason is to keep them under control. They were monstrous and ate us in prehistoric times!" LOL. So yeah, it was great at the science fair. Here are some pics. 




Well, see you next post!
