Festive things – talk game

Try playing a festive talk game with your friends and family.

You could adapt a familiar talk game by playing it with festive words only – for example this one. The idea is that two people say two different things, and these words form a new compound word. People then try to imagine what this new word could mean.

Here’s how it might work with seasonal words:

Adrian: bauble

Becky: cracker

Carys: OK, ‘bauble cracker’… Right, yes a bauble cracker is a special type of cracker that’s full of tiny baubles!

Adrian: Hmmm, I thought it was a name for a tool that you use to smash up old baubles that you don’t like anymore!

Becky: Well I disagree with you both! I heard that a bauble cracker is a really cheesy Christmas song!

And so on.
