Word of the Week instead of Word of the Day?
|
I commented to maryse earlier this evening about doing a WOW instead of a WOD just because participation has been so low lately. And she said to ask everybody´s opinion on this idea... so...
What does everyone think about this idea? Or is there another alternative that you think we should consider???

We could change it to a "Match Game" type game with fill in the blank...
For example:
"The young student that had accidently grabbed his teenage sister �s book bag instead of his own, reached into the bag and pulled out a __<<blank>>____."
--at this point people submit their suggestions for filling in the blank.
--the winner then selects the next new phrase
--if we do this, I suggest the new phrases be posted on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays

Hi everyone,
Douglas I must confess I LOVE your idea !
I have another one : why not starting with a word, a group of words and ask the first participant to find a new word or group of words starting with the last letter(s) of the previous word or the last word of the previous group of words ?
Example :
Backrapper ----> ERase ---> Expectation ---
Douglas has a good idea ---> ideal is the situation ---> the situation is not bad ---
Finding funny explanations on packages sounds more difficult, at least in my opinion.
Let �s wait for tother suggestions !
Plenty of hugs to all of you,
Maryse. |

.Now , like all games, it has become a bit repetitive and I think it needs some changes , some new oxygen... The fact that very few people have been participating lately is a sign that something is wrong. What? Too much work? Boredom? I don �t know.?
