Country saying

Änderungen in Version 5 (von madmaddi, 29.12.2017 17:38)

  • A game to practice rhymes and rhythm in the group.
  • All players line up in a circle. Now a country rule (country saying) is recited in a clockwise circle, word for word (each player only one word), according to the (rhyme) pattern of the known country saying.
  • For this exercise the country sayings should rhyme.
  • ## Example:
  • -- "Sow four beans as you make your row,
  • +"Sow four beans as you make your row,
  • One to rot, and one to grow,
  • One for the pigeon, and one for the crow"
  • This exercise can be difficult because of the rhymes and the rhythm, so if you get muddled up, just start from the beginning again according to the "good-hearted" principle. The rhymes don't necessarily have to make sense. The fun and the even flow of words are at first in the foreground. Nevertheless, it makes sense to think ahead a little in rhymes and not to make it too difficult for the next man with the words.
  • Make up new totally new country sayings and make fun choices.
  • ## Variations
  • - Instead of being able to speak word for word, players can also speak only syllable for syllable, i. e.
  • "When(1) the(2) sun(3) goes(4) down(5) red(6) you(7) can(8) go(9) a(10)-head(11)...".
