Perhaps you're all familiar with the writing game "Exquisite Corpse", but in case you're not, the rules are simple: each person writes one sentence of a story. The trick is that you can't see anyone else's sentence, so when the story is read out, it's nonsense. (There is another version of the game wherein you can only see the sentence directly before the one you're writing, which makes for an equally disjointed but more more traceable outcome.) The kids wanted me to post our first attempt at Exquisite Corpse:
Once upon a time, a frog jumped out of a pond into a tree.
So Esibella said whatcha doing to Pheanis. And Knorm was like whatcha doing to do Fingeberge.
I was almost killed by the last shot.
Today was the day I went to the museum.
All of a sudden the Princess got hit by a wrecking ball and went flying over the cliff and drowned in the sea.
And so he hopped on his old donkey and rode off into the moon waving panty hose.
Everybody died.
The End
We also tried to make our names into different shapes, today, in the tradition of Arabic calligraphy—see if you can figure out whose names are embedded in these drawings!
