Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm off on a CPD weekend with work on Friday . Went last year and it was great fun - one game we played was each writing an interesting/shocking/unlikely fact about ourselves, then each having to guess which went with which person. There were certainly some surprises . Does anyone know of any other games we could play (we would probably only have paper/pens)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I recall doing this some years ago and the 'game' I thought was most interesting was to write down three facts about yourself - two true and one false - and get everyone to guess the false one. I learned A LOT about some of my colleagues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I recall doing this some years ago and the 'game' I thought was most interesting was to write down three facts about yourself - two true and one false - and get everyone to guess the false one. I learned A LOT about some of my colleagues I was about to suggest the same game!! Was enlightening on some events I was at! For example, I got to learn that one colleague had played cello with Julian Lloyd Webber at the Royal Albert hall.... I didn't even know she played the cello!!!! Another is to have a piece of A4 paper for each person... You write something that you value about that person, then fold it over.... When it gets back to the "owner" they can see what their colleagues value about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 would love to help but the very thought of it makes me shiver Have fun tho' Ax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Actually I'm being unkind. So how about offering a bottle of red to who ever can get home the quickest on the Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Apologies in advance. I would suggest "Here's a tenner, now leave me alone" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'll suggest that game - sounds good, thanks . We'll be passing close to you on our way there, Alli, we'll pick you up about 3pm on Friday ? The only flies in the ointment are that the (relatively) new head teacher is going, along with the teacher I work with who, despite being perfectly nice and good fun socially, is a total control freak and I can't wait to get out of her class and move somewhere else next term! Hoping copious amounts of alcohol will help . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Probably best if we don't, to be honest . Thankfully, I've just had my annual Professional Development Review so they'll probably have forgotten anything incriminating by next year . Would you be able to guess the false one? I was born with 6 toes on one foot At the age of 18, I was the pastry chef in the Carlton Hotel I have flown a Cessna light aircraft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'd go for the aircraft, I reckon you've flown a different one! Here's mine! I have had a single in the charts I have snogged a major TV presenter I have completed the London Marathon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 No, the Cessna is true! The toes aren't! Yours are difficult . I think 2 is false? If not, I want to know who . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Nope three isn't true.... PM on it's way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Ooh, I'm very impressed . I could've sworn your no. 3 was completing the 3 Peaks Challenge in 24 hours? Did I dream that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickendoodle Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 That game is brilliant if you have done at least 2 amazing things. I'm afraid mine wouldn't be quite so interesting - I would have to involve family facts 1. My great grandmother was bitten by Shep, John Noakes dog 2. Actually that's it. That is the only interesting fact about my entire family . John Noakes bought my g/grandmother's house and when he came to view it, Shep bit her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 That's still a great fact . You've reminded me, I could use "My mother used to work for MI6" - true but I can't really take any credit for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 How about these? My grandfather was Head Chauffer to HM Queen Elizabeth I once fell over Alan Titchmarsh I can sing the French National Anthem backwards Mind you I am now in awe of Chickendoodle - John and Shep WERE my childhood...tho I didn't have Shep down as violent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 I have no idea which is false but it's a great made up one, whichever it is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 We had a fantastic time - the weather was fabulous and we all got sunburnt . We played a simple version of the game - just one fact which we then all had to guess who had written it. Very funny and quite an eyeopener. Who knew one of my colleagues always wanted to be a nun and another had slapped Darren Day on the behind then ran away (a bloke too ). We went kayaking & canoeing on Loch Eck and most of us capsized - it was great fun . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
