Game #1: Who and WHO?!
When bored, fear not, creative souls!
Here's a fun little game my sister and me thought up to cure boredom. It works for drawing, writing, sculpting(if you have the time), role-playing and any other creative process that needs Anime, game or movie character victims.
What You'll need:
- Pen
- Paper or index cards cut up into half-inch-tall pieces (referred to as "tabs")
- A knowledge of anime, movie or games characters' looks (or personality for those writing/role playing)
How to play:
STEP 1: Characters
Pick anywhere from 5 to 100 of your favorite anime, movie or games characters. (The more you have, the longer the game) I reccomend 20 character tabs.10 female and 10 male.
Write their names down on the pieces of paper (tabs).
Optional: Separate male and female into different piles if you plan on doing romance, unless you don't care.
Step 2: Actions
Write down the following on separate pieces of paper (one on each):
Walking, eating ice cream, holding hands, hugging, jumping over a sheep, fishing, climbing a giant (rock, cheese, etc.), dressed as angels or devils, mermaids or mermen, kissing, one pushing other on a swing, one slapping other, dancing, flying, spinning, dressed as each other and AS MANY AS YOU WANT TO THINK UP. 
Playing the game:
- Each player takes two character tabs and a action tab.
- Draw, sculpt, roleplay or write the two characters doing the action without showing the other players. Don't take too long if you have lots of character tabs.
- Place the done characters and actions into a pile--draw two more character tabs and an action tab.
- Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 until all the character tabs are gone.
- Show each other your finished works!
Game variations:
- Have a one person play "Who-Queen" or "Who-King." This means that they assign each person the characters and actions they want too (good for birthdays).
- Add genre tabs: write on each tab sci-fi, medieval fantasy, fairytale, post-apocalyptic, modern and historical. When a player gets a genre tab, the characters must dress and act accordingly.
- If you're brave or good at backgrounds, add BG tabs to the game!
Game #2: 5 things to do when bored
- Stretch.
- Think of ten words that begin with "st".
- Learn to count to ten in another language. Look up pronunciation on the net or on a tape so you KNOW you have it right.
- Write a paragraph about a small red object in your house.
- Count how many purple objects are in your house/room.
Game #3: 5 things to do when you're REALLY bored and have time to burn
- Lick your elbow.
- Lay on your back on either your table or the floor and try to describe the smells you smell. Is it fresh? Stinky? Dusty?
- Balance a pen of a cup handle. (it is possible)
- Draw a map of your house and hide an object somewhere. Mark the object on the map as a "x" of your favorite color. Give the map to your best friend and see if they can find the object.
- Go online and find a picture of someone of the opposite gender. If you're a girl, get a picture of a buff, man in a leopard spotted bikini. If you're a guy, get a picture of a woman in a string bikini. Take a picture of your head (from the neck up) and merge place your head on the body. (see example below).
