The audience suggest a suitable topic for which they then have to make up a short 30 second jingle. This is normally in the form of a song, often featuring atrocious rhyming couplets made up on the spot.<\/p>\n<p>Good topics include the dog, the dad\u2019s cooking, the school, or even miscellaneous categories such as pies, pavements, cars or dinosaurs, depending on the interests of the player.<\/p>\n<p>An alternative way to play is to have more than one player do the jingle, so player 2 might add the backing vocal or an introduction \u2018introducing the wonderful Newtown Primary School\u2019 followed by the main jingle \u2018Newtown Primary school! Ma ma ma ma ma Newtown Primary school ma ma ma mam mam Its so wonderfully cool! ma ma ma ma, Newtwon Primary Schoool\u2019 then the player 2 says \u2018Newtown primary school only \u00a32.99 from most good shops, terms and conditions apply\u2019. Such composite jingles require a little more planning but can be amusing.<\/p>\n<p>There is also scope within this format to make up your own topic. One of the best we ever did was for \u2018Undigestable food\u2019. My daughter introduced this by trilling \u2018Undigestable food!\u2019 followed by me speaking in a radio voice ..\u2019undigestable food, the great new food by fat busters, eat it and it goes straight through you!..Yes you\u2019ll be eating yorkshire puddings and pooing yorkshire puddings! ! A great way to lose weight and save money-undigestible food is completely reusable!\u2019 Followed by my son\u2026 \u2018can cause symptoms of indigestion(my daughter groans) Only \u00a33.99 fro most good chemists\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>OK OK, so it was funny at the time. At least we thought it was mildly entertaining. Anyway the point was we worked as a team to do something vaguely creative, albeit directed by me, which isn\u2019t necessarily the point of family time.<\/p>\n<p>At least I manged to get as far as game number 3 before using the word \u2018poo\u2019. More to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Equipment: none! In this game every player in turn performs at the front of the group.
