Victorian Parlour game of "Consequences" just made for Christmas Day!

[Harrison Hill]

Get off that computer and get the old 'uns and the young 'un doing
this:

Each person needs a blank piece of paper and a pen.

1) Everyone writes at the top of their paper a boy's name (be as
extravagant as possible).

2) They fold the paper over to hide the boy's name and pass it to the
person on their left.

3) Everyone writes below the folded-over top of their paper a girl's
name.

4) They fold the paper over to hide the girl's name and pass it to the
person on their left.

...and so the papers travel around the table or the room, being folded
over and over, collecting this list:

1) A boy's name.
2) A girl's name.
3) Where they met.
4) He said to her...
5) She said to him...
6) The consequence was...
7) What the world thought about it...

At the end everyone unravels their paper; and one by one have to tell
the story to the group:

(1) met (2) (3). He said to her (4). She said to him (5). The
consequence was (6) and the world said (7).

The story is always utter nonsense with embarassing coincidences and
family faux pas; eminently suitable for the very young, the very old
and the very silly!
