The Writing Game

The writing game

Two words; Blue, Ranger.

I hate this person because they are extremely boring, annoying, and he never stops talking!
He always talks about his blue puffer jacket, and his new forest ranger job.

Two words; Big, Shack

He is constantly on my nerves. I know everything about his life, even the big shack he has in his backyard.

Two words; Hole, Hill

Last week, I knew for a fact, he dug up a mountain of dirt up to make a hill.
But he wasn’t prepared for the hole the hill left behind.

Two words; Extraordinary, Pineapple

After digging the whole afternoon, he went inside for a refreshing snack.
Apparently he ate the most extraordinary pineapple.

Two words; Metaphorical, Feijoa

He also ate a metaphorical feijoa. Nobody know what it really was, that is the one thing he wouldn’t say.

Two words; Edit, Simple

Though he did say how he edited this simple metaphorical feijoa.
Apparently he added cheese and tomato. A yuck combination, if you ask me.

Two words; Draft, Breezy

That was only his draft. He said he planned to make many more.
Right after, he got the loveliest breeze.

Two words; Mighty, Waffles

That’s when he got the whiff, waffles. The neighbours were having waffles!
They smelt beautiful! They might have been the mightiest waffles in the world.

The writing game above is what we learned when two visiting Author's came to our school to talk about their careers. They taught us that doing this small game can make your brain work so that you can be more creative. We all took turns choosing two words each to add to our stories. Most of the time we all picked wild words that we knew would confuse people because we wanted to make the challenge as difficult as we could. And by making the challenge more difficult with words, we were able to create more creative stories. We learnt that some author’s even make their stories from this creative game alone. There was only one rule to this game, and that was making sure that you never stopped writing. When you were not writing, you were scribbling on the paper to figure out what to write, If you took your pen off the paper, or stopped writing, then you were disqualified. Although that was only because it was a class competition

I really liked this word game because it makes our brains create wonderful stories out of crazy words.
Most children’s stories are fun, creative, and silly and this word game will help you create a brilliant story of
your own. I recommend this game for anyone to play because it will really help if you are an inspiring
children's author, or you just like writing for fun.
