THOUGHT WAVES
TYPE: Quiet
Play in a circle
The leader states that he is thinking about something but will not say what it is until later. He then asks each player "What is my thought like?" They may answer that it is like a ____ (noun) (i.e. a book, a leader, etc.). When all of the players have answered, the leader announces what he was thinking of (i.e. an idiot). "My thought is about an idiot." "Why is a book like an idiot?" The player must think quickly and give an answer (he might say: "Because you never know what it's all about”). He then asks the next person: "Why is the leader like an idiot?" And this player must also think of an answer quickly (he might say: "Because he acts like one"). This continues until everyone has answered. The interest in this game centers around the clever and humorous answers given.
