That's my sort of book!
Here's one of the games which is is Terrific For Your Welsh ....
... you get a random question ..... and a random word ... and you have to answer the question using the random word. Here's an English example... with 3 ( three) potential answers...
Question " What's your name?" Random word ..... crisps
Answer.... " My name is Caspar the Impressionable, hard to say if you're eating crisps"
Answer 2 ...." I'm Sid, and I'll tell you my surname if you buy me a packet of crisps."
Answer 3 ... " I'm too knackered to tell you, I've been lifting huge cartons of crisp all day."
In the book, it's a competitive game, they each write a question on a bit of paper, and a random word on another bit of paper, and jumble them all up and dish them out so everyone get's a question and a word.
However, if, like me, you have no friends ...well, not that sort of friend anyway, and you're 186 years old etc, you have to come up with a lonelier way of doing it.. here we go ...
You get a Welsh book... the sort with lots of talking in it.
You flick it open randomly and find the first question on that page.That's your question.
You turn the page, and stab your finger at a random spot ... that's your word.
If it's a crap word like "yr" or "yw" or "hi" or "parc" which is crap backwards, you look along the line until you get to something usable like " marron" or " hafod" or " malwod" or " ochneidio."
I'm going to do some now, yn byw .......
Q: Pwy wyt ti? Word ... anadl.
Answer: Pryadfylliantadaeth ap Gruffudd-Ffrothwytharianctad ydw i , a does dim anadl ar ôl nawr.
Q: Beth yn y byd mae'n nhw'n wneud ? Word ... stafell
Answer .. Dwi'm gwbod, mae nhw yn y stafell ddirgel.
Q: "I ble chi sy'n mynd heno ?" Word ... pysgod
Answer: "Paid busnesa, pysgod-wyneb !"
The idea behind all this is to get better at formulating answers, and doing more than just the basics. Having to use that extra word makes you need to be a bit more creative ...plus it's fun. Remember fun?
Right then .. here's The Afternoons doing a little song for us ...
