Dalla Dalla Tetris:
The Goal: fit all the necessary people and things into the bus and still be able to close the doors.
Required components: One small mini bus (Capacity 15), 30 people plus an assortment of boxes, bags, buckets and other goods, including but not limited to: live chickens, car engines, and baked goods. Driver and ticket agent also requried.
Now arrange the components keeping the following in mind.
1) people are bendy
2) people do not necessarily have to be near their belongings
3) sardines make an excellent lap cover.
Pick up more people as the bus goes along the road, rearranging people and things to make room. The more people and things you have by the time you reach town the more points you earn!
Turkey Tapdance:
The Goal: Successfully navigate the perilous path from your front gate to the main road avoiding the Turkeys, burning garbage, puddles and waste water channels in your way.
Preparatory Steps:
Step 1: Move to Africa, rent house near nutrition centre (complete with animals),
Step 2: visit the beach
Step 3: Put sunscreen everywhere but your feet, stay in sun 12-14 hours
Step 4: Burn (bonus points if your feet blister!)
Game Steps:
Step 5: Gingerly put on socks and Crocs to protect feet from bugs and dirt
Step 6: Try to leave house
Step 7: Discover that Turkey's like Croc's. As in they like to eat them.
Step 8: Try to avoid being eaten alive by the 60 pound male turkey and his little band of turkey followers, while not falling in waste water channel, garbage burning hole, or puddles. Hopping, screaming, and shooing noises are all allowed
Step 9: If necessary enlist help of local children to throw rocks at Turkeys/you
Step 10: Repeat on homeward journey

So I am teaching Phys Ed for a week. And we are doing multicultural games - not even joking. So I am trying to think of ways that we can use your games, but the turkeys might be hard to get and I am thinking there are safety concerns behind the tetris game.
Too bad, I will have to think of some all on my own, or just use the book they have called Multicultural Games - I bet that has a lot of games we can play in it.
You never cease to make me laugh Kelly
Oh and by the way I am glad that your house looks big enough for me to fit in as well :)
Just tell me when and I will come and visit you :)
Love you a ton, miss you

This is hilarious. But where are the goats?
Keep 'em coming...

P.S. I was going to tell you to keep it safe, but I'm not sure if it's safer inside a fast-moving, brake-less yet body cushioned bus, or on the road where no one follows non-existent traffic signs/signals.
Kelly,
You are a comedy genius. People are bendy! I'll say. That post had me laughing out loud alone in my bedroom, probably scaring my new roommate, thinking his new american is crazy or something. Tanzania sounds great, good luck with everything as always.

Aw, i miss your "so tell me something funny"'s
i'll think of something funny to tell you - my next email!!
We are currently playing "snow in October" here. Your games sound far more entertaining, and warmer.
