Emotions * Animals * Adverbs

Once upon a time, a long time ago in a cabin in the woods with ten sweet friends, we played Exquisite Corpse and In the Manner of the Adverb, and so many amazing games that I thought I would never be blue again.

This morning I made a little game for Jonah, and for our family, that is kind of like In the Manner of the Adverb, a game Anastasia introduced us to, but more for kids. It's called: Emotions * Animals * Adverbs. I hope he likes it!!

Here are our starting words (basically, you draw a slip of paper from the jar and act it out) and now I notice I forgot monkeys! D'oh!

I had a set of flash cards similar to this when I was a kid, and I'm pretty sure that's what made me want to be a writer. Jonah will have hours of fun with this! I'm stealing it when I have kids!
