That's Carson & Layla's latest self-creation of a game. (To those of you who may be less than well-versed in child chatter, the game is actually called "Spooking through the Forest.") Last night, I heard such loud and continuous laughter from Paul and the kids downstairs - I had to hurry so I could play, too!
Game Setup: Turn off all lights downstairs.
Game Rules: Spookily tiptoe (you know, the kind where you overexaggerate and bring both hands up to shoulder height to show just how tiptoe-esque you can be) around until you run into someone, then either (a) shriek and run away, or (b) stand your ground and roar like a dinosaur until THEY run away. [Note: Option B is a new installment, Dinosaur Park-inspired, that has not been available in past game models.]
Game End: There is never a winner, so this game has the potential to go on waaaaaay past bedtime. Great fun for those looking for a chance to do some old-fashioned romping.

*being completely speechless at the coolness of the Smarts-whilst adding that game to my memory (whilst tip-toeing)*
fun on the family game! the simplest things are usually the most enjoyable for kids - i don't know why i do anything more than throw a few boxes at my kids each day and just let em' go at it. . . ser though - cuteness on your family fun together.
Yeah, uh, this reminds me way too much of a game we played in high school up at your cabin where we'd take turns going into a dark room and hunting each other down and then pummeling the other person with our pillow. Don't know why, but we called it "Winter Playland." Paul was vicious. Especially when drinking Shasta Moonmist. Just thought you should know where the inspiration for the game may have come from. :)
