Hi all!
On the eve of Valentine's day (காதலர் தினம்), one of my classmates, my friend Apoorva Nathan, came up with this ingenious game which we will be playing in our class over two days (working days) till Feb 14! The game sounds really nice and I will post about it here. Try it out if possible!
Our class has a strength of 60. (Around 15 did not agree to participate). Number doesn't matter for this game as long as there is 'strength' or 'human resource'! All names will be written and a lot is prepared. Each person takes a bit with a name written on it (It has a name written on it - I will call the name as 'friend', just for reference). There's a judge for this game - she arranged her friend from another section for this job. Every person tells the judge what name he got. After this is done, we are ready to play!
No one knows who got his name. Obviously it is understood that no one has to tell the other guy or girl whose name he or she got. If you do not play 'in the spirit of the game' the game is just wasted or in other words, loses much of its fun!
Coming back, each person has to give a 'dare' to the friend. Of course, he does not communicate directly - it is sent through some other person. After a few exchanges, the friend gets his share of dare and he has to do it at the prescribed time. He can give any number of dares, more the number, more the fun! If the friend does not do the dare, he or she has to gift something to the person on Feb 14 who gave him the dare!
On Feb 14, the DAY, the names of all will be revealed - who gave the dare to whom! That's the judgment day and that is all about the game! THIS GAME IS FOR FUN ONLY!
Sample:
Let's suppose A picks name E (characters A,B,C,D,E)
A sends a sms to B "My friend told me to sms this to E... the dare... asap!"
B sends it to E (Of course, B may know A sends it to E, that's part and parcel of the game - who cares? Dare is important!)
Highlights:
1) It's all about entertainment! This game has a solid base!
2) Dares must not deal with professors; they must not be indecent or unethical (Yeah, there's a limit to all :) )
3) Play in the spirit of the game! Do not reveal everything to everyone!
4) Take it sportingly and perform the dares. Don't be a hyper-nerd and say a boring 'NO' to the dare saying a lame reason!
5) "When you get a chance, be a player rather than a spectator!"
I am not so sure if this will be successful or not. We are going to play it tomorrow only. Keeping fingers crossed! I don't know whether Apoorva 'discovered' this game. According to her, she found it (a similar game) somewhere else and she had modified it to suit our class. Whatever it is, she has done a great job and hats-off to her, she has brought together the whole class for a deed! This is the first time I am seeing such a spirit of 'unity' in CSE 'A', which mostly hangs out in groups!
A great game to try, especially for school-goers and college students!
Have fun... as always... and continue to do so!
First time I am trying a சுட-சுட report! :) Hope u liked it!
Happy Valentine's Day in advance!

It was great! Most of us did our dares in the time available. Got many videos :p
ReplyDeleteYeah! Some gifts exchanged... All was well! :)
