Any Game Ideas?

Question

Hey everyone!

As quite a few of you know, I try to post a few Spanish Games a week. At the moment, I really can't think of any new games to post. Does anyone have any ideas for a new game? It doesn't have to be a detailed explanation, just a sentence or two suggesting an idea.

Please make sure that I haven't already posted a game like the one you are suggesting. However, if you would like a return of one of my games, you can post that!

Thanks everyone.

Answer 1

Here's another game for another time, perhaps. It's a variation of "Clue/Cluedo" or "Where in the World is Carmen Santiago?", but you could call it "Encontrar el Bandido" (Find the Bandit) or something similar. You make a short paragraph telling a story of how something (from List 1) got stolen by a bandit (from List 2) and they escaped to (from List 3).

Make three lists (either in Spanish or English) of 15 items:

List 1: Items (gems, food items, anything - you can vary the list per game)

List 2: Suspects/people's names (using actual people in SD will be fun)

List 3: Places (anywhere on the globe, or inside a house, etc.)

Each person chooses one item from each list, such as:

Findy guesses (by writing a sentence in Spanish and English) and choosing one thing from each list: I think that a diamond was stolen by Margherite and taken to Argentina. Creo un diamante fue robada por Margherite y llevado a de Argentina.

After a few people have taken guesses, you let them know how many of their guesses from that turn are true, such as:

"Findy, two of your guesses are correct" (but don't say which ones);

"Ian, one of your guesses is correct";

"Rac, none are correct" (sorry - hugs)

People then take more guesses. The person who guesses all three items correctly wins the game (and 20 points, perhaps?).

Edit: One more thing... People can only take one guess (of an item, a suspect, and a place) between the Gamerunner's comments. It would be too confusing to have people making loads of guesses.

I think this is my favorite. Thanks guys! - 00ffada9, Feb 5, 2014

ooo, Margherite, you are bad :) - Ghosthawk, Feb 5, 2014

Oooh, thank you for making my post green! *hugs* - Findy, Feb 5, 2014

Game has been posted. Check it out! - 00ffada9, Feb 5, 2014

Already??? Wow! You're amazing! - Findy, Feb 5, 2014

Answer 2

How about a game of Mad-Libs? You could make up a sentence or paragraph with blanks (don't post it). You could even take an existing work and leave out words to form blanks. Then make a numbered list to coincide with the blanks, listing word parts, such as

1. adjective;

2. noun (f);

3. verb (pret., usted), etc.

Each person makes a list of words (or just one word at a time), in English & Spanish, and then at the end you can reveal the crazy sentence/paragraph with the Mad-Lib words bolded.

1. loco, crazy

2. perrita, puppy

3. saltó, jumped

¡Qué increíble! I was going to suggest exactly this! One of my most favorite word games of all :) - Helado_eclectico, Feb 5, 2014

Great Idea! - 00ffada9, Feb 5, 2014

That would be SO cool!!!! - actorgirl, Feb 5, 2014

Answer 3

Or maybe a game of hangman? That's fun. And it would be a good way to learn how to spell different words.

Great idea! - Findy, Feb 5, 2014
