I've an idea !

So I was thinking about it the other day (the good thing about doing an internship is not doing much at times) :

I thought about something called "The War of the Myths". It would be about several Irish mythical characters coming together for a meeting that happens once every 100 years and this year it would be in Cong.
The game leader would be an old story-teller.


So they meet up and we are guests (since we're there). They are scared, people are starting to forget about them. Indeed, when myths & legends aren't told, they fade away. But there is something weird, they know there is an impostor between their ranks because it is happening much quicker than it should. They start arguing and then a quarrel starts between leprechauns & faeries :

1st game : Sagamore (afternoon game)
I'll explain later if you like the whole thing. At the end, even if one of the teams wins they make peace over snack.


2nd game : cluedo (evening game)
In the evening, the kids will be given a task : interview the myths and find out who is the impostor.
Bouncing moment : revelation about the Lady with the Mirror (I'll explain later as well) - look for her and then bring her to the story-teller. Sort of trial to send her to Oblivion Land.

Calm-The-Kids Moment : sing a song OR tell one of the myths' stories in English/French.


What do you reckon?

Really good!
The game leader can be a drood too, no?

yes !

I love the idea of the cluedo!

and i like sagamore as well

For the cluedo before reading your message I was thinking about exactly the same idea with different characters from the Irish myths.

I love doing these kind of game and for the end of the game I would suggest that we define a special signal that will be the ending signal doing by the game leader. At that time children will know that they will have to go to the initial place to reveal who is the impostor. Then a final play could be done by the different characters, saying thank you to the children and finally telling one myth as you said could be great.

I was also thinking about a "CASINO", which refers to a game where every characters manage a stand a play with children walking around and stopping when they want to play the game to bet some fake money. I was also thinking that this game could be mainly oriented about the Irish symbols and the money could be the clover.

What do you think ?

Well, you would need to integrate it into the story and change it if you want to include it in the big game.

BUT I think the Casino night is a good idea! it could even be a veillée itself

Yes of course ! the story is important and I wasn't thinking about doing it without drama.

It was just to give the idea and explanation of the game for those who have never done it before.

I totally agree with you the story should be in every game. But I was thinking that we could discuss about it all together

And I also thought that we could start the casino with an individual game which could, thanks to a special event happening into the story, be transformed into a cooperation game.

What do you think ?

I don't see what you want to do actually that's why I'm confused (of course the aim is to discuss !)
'^^

Do you want : sagamore + cluedo + casino

Or

Sagamore OR Cluedo + casino? (cluedo is a sort of cooperation game even though it is in teams)

Or do the casino at some other moment?

I think it'll be clearer

Oh ok I see your point .. I am sorry for the misunderstanding I was just listing the ideas without precising that every thing were not necessarily linked to each other.

To be clearer I was saying that i think the idea of a sagamore + cluedo one day is really nice (and I add some additional ideas for the cluedo), and I was suggesting the casino but not for the same day for another one

Sorry again for the misunderstanding it is true that it could have been confused..

I hope it is a bit clearer now

have a nice evening

Ah everything is clear now !

I thought so but I wanted to make sure.
This section was about the big game that's why I got confused but the Casino night is definitely a good idea !
