So how do you kill time to relax yourself? Here are some of the things my friends and I did to have fun without modern conveniences last month.

Card games

Playing cards can bring hours of fun! It is the most common card game. You only need a pack of cards. The games include ‘President’, ‘Cheat’ and a take on the game ‘UNO’.

Hunt the thimble

One player hides a thimble or another small object in a room, while the other players stay outside. The other players then return to the room and look for the object. The player who hid the thimble can give clues or say ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ depending on how close the players are to the object. The person who finds the item first wins.

Board games

Board games are great at helping pass the time on a dull day. In the game, players have to deduce (推断) the mystery of the story. For example, when solving the mystery of the broken toy, players have to discover which toy it was, who broke it, and when it was broken.

Consequences

This is a very amusing game. All you need is a pen and piece of paper for each person in the group. Everyone writes the beginning of a story. Then it is passed to the next person in the circle, who writes the next word or sentence. But the challenge is that the paper is folded so that only the most recent phrase can be seen before being passed again to the next player, who writes the next line and so on. After ten sentences have been written, the whole story is seen clearly. Usually there will be some funny stories to make you laugh!
