Anyone got other good social-games for kids?
I’ll contribute: Questions, in which one attempts to carry on a “conversation” consisting entirely of questions that may not be nonsensical or non-sequiturs. First person to ask a garbage/illegal question or to make a statement, loses. Traditionally initiated with “would you like to play questions?”
And: some of the imagination games from Impro can be good. Collaborative automatic writing (though the adult will need to self-censor a bit); tricking a kid who “can’t think of stories” into writing a story by asking you questions about a “secret story” you wrote (you did no such thing—of course you eventually clue them in that they’re far more imaginative than they believed), that kind of stuff.
