Impromptu Games You PlayMe and the missus were at London Zoo the other day. We invented a great game called "Spot the Paedo." We counted about 8 single men with suspicious facial hair before the end of the day. What games have you made up on the spot to play with your friends?

The Michael Fish GameMy dad and I have been playing the Michael Fish game for donkey's years. It starts by one of us saying "Michael Fish". The other then has to say "Michael X" where X is something that relates to the previous word, either in meaning or phonetically. The first person does likewise. Words cannot be repeated (except Michael, which is there for show). The aim of the game can be one of two things:
In the long game, the aim is to try and make the other person go back to Michael Fish by giving them nowhere else to go (getting all sealife out of the way early on helps to achieve this, but it still takes ages).
In the short game, the aim is to be the person who gets back to Michael Fish, which you cannot do until the topic has firmly and clearly left sealife at the start.
Do try the long one on long plane journeys, it makes the time just fly by!
Nobody in the family is quite sure where the Michael Fish game came from, but it was most likely something my dad thought up on the spot once upon a time. Now it can be started while we're on any journey by simply mentioning the name ;)
