·         And explain how you felt about it


It was quite tricky to think of a game to talk about because I don’t tend to play many indoor games nowadays, but then I suddenly remembered a game I was pushed into playing at a family get-together a few years back. My aunt and uncle were celebrating their golden wedding anniversary (50) and invited their close friends and relatives to a party at their home. They live in a relatively large house and it is great for entertaining.


I can’t remember precisely when it was because I have a terrible memory for dates, but it was sometime in summer, but unfortunately the weather was pretty awful. It was pouring down and so we couldn’t go outside and use the garden so we were stuck inside. The kids were a bit stir crazy* so my uncle suggested that they play board games. Initially, they were not keen because youngsters nowadays are obsessed with gadgets and online gaming and playing old-fashioned board games does not appeal to them. However, that all changed when we started playing Twister.


I don’t know if you are familiar with the game, but basically it’s a game with a plastic sheet covered in round brightly coloured circles and there is a spinner thingy which you spin around and if it lands on a red circle then you must put a hand or a foot on that circle. The object of the game is to not fall over and only your hands and feet can touch the circles. If you fall or take your hand or foot off a circle, then you are out.


At first, some of the players were a bit shy and embarrassed but as the game progressed, we couldn’t stop laughing. It is a hilarious game to play and we had great fun. Now, every time I see some of my younger cousins, they beg me to play the game. It’s a fantastic game because it can be played by all ages and even though it is a bit childish*, it’s great to bring out your inner child** from time to time.



Describe a Time When You Played an Indoor Game

One memorable instance when I played an indoor game was a few years ago during a family gathering. My aunt and uncle were celebrating their golden wedding anniversary, which is a significant milestone marking 50 years of marriage. They invited close friends and family to their home for a grand party. Their house, being quite spacious, was ideal for hosting such events.

The party was held during summer, but unfortunately, the weather was terrible that day. It was pouring rain, which meant we couldn’t enjoy their lovely garden. Instead, we were confined indoors, and the kids were becoming restless due to being cooped up. To keep everyone entertained, my uncle suggested playing board games. Initially, the younger kids were not very enthusiastic because they were more interested in gadgets and online games. However, everything changed when we decided to play Twister.

Twister is a game that involves a large plastic mat with brightly colored circles and a spinner. The spinner dictates which color and which body part (hand or foot) players must place on the mat. The challenge is to keep balance while following these instructions. If you fall or touch the mat with anything other than your hands or feet, you’re out of the game.

At first, some players were hesitant and a bit shy, but as the game continued, everyone loosened up and we started to have a blast. The room was filled with laughter as we all tried to contort our bodies into various positions. It was a fun and amusing experience, and it was clear that everyone, regardless of age, enjoyed it.

Nowadays, whenever I see some of my younger cousins, they always ask me to play Twister again. Despite its childish nature, Twister is a fantastic game that brings out the playful side in people of all ages. It’s a great way to have fun and bond with family, making it a cherished memory from that rainy day.
