The President's Cat: Having Fun During COVID-19
Coronavirus/COVID-19 has allowed us to spend a lot more time with our pets. So, let's talk about them! Make some entertainment from an old parlor game.
1) Getting Together - Make some snacks and beverages and gather your household family/roommates.
Game Rules:
2) The President's Cat Is a _______ Cat - The first player starts and using an adjective beginning with the letter "A." For example, "The President's cat is an amazing cat." Each player repeats using a different adjective. When it returns to the first player, they move on to a letter "B" adjective. This continues through the alphabet.
2) The President's Cat Is a _______ Cat - The first player starts and using an adjective beginning with the letter "A." For example, "The President's cat is an amazing cat." Each player repeats using a different adjective. When it returns to the first player, they move on to a letter "B" adjective. This continues through the alphabet.
4) Variety Is The Spice Of Life - Too simple or difficult? Try these variations:
a) Set a timer - Everyone has 10-15 second to say their line
b) Clap in unison to set a pace for saying your lines.
c) Have the group speak in a rhythm to set the pace for saying lines.
d) Change the letter each person instead of each round.
e) Remember all previous and add your own adjective on each turn. For example the six player would say, "The President's cat is an able, bubbly, caring, dazzling, energetic, funny cat."
f) Turn it into a drinking game. Take a shot or swig every time you're out.
g) Have a prize for the winner(s). It can be something simple. For example, you get a piece of Starburst for each round and a Snicker bar for the most overall wins.
DON'T FORGET TO HAVE FUN!
And, please feel free to contact if you have any questions or suggestions!
