Funtivity Friday - Walking Around Games 6th Edition

Here are some more fun games to play when you are walking around or you are just generally bored. Some of them are games you may have heard of. Others we made up.

1) Who Do You Know - One person gives clues about a particular person. It can be a famous person or someone you all know. The other people have to guess what person the clue giver is talking about.

2) Would You Rather - Given a chose of two less than optimal  situations each person has to choose which option they would prefer.

3) Either Or - Similiar to Would You Rather but each person has the option to chose between two items instead of two situations.

4) The Song Word Game - Say a word and thing of as many songs as you can that have that word in them. For a more difficult version of this game think of as many songs as you can that use the word in their title.

5) Actor's Resume - Think of an actor and name as many projects as you can which that actor has appeared in. If you want to make the game harder you can stick to a particular topic, such as, TV, movies or theater and only name projects the actor has been in that are related to the topic you have chosen.

6) Two Actors Named - Pick a name. Name two actors with that name.

7) Actors Named ___________- Pick a first  name. Name as many actors as you can with that name. You can also play this game with last names at least for the more common last names.

What do you like to do when you are walking around or just generally bored?

Enjoy!

Theater Thursday - Fun Home

We were given free tickets to Fun Home for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.

What: Fun Home

Where: Kelsey Theatre
             1200 Old Trenton Rd.
             West Windsor, NJ

Who: Recommended for Ages 13 and Up

When: Friday, Saturday and Sunday through September 30, 2018

Mom's view: Despite the title, Fun Home is not at all a light and happy musical. The title is actually short for funeral home. It is the true story of Alison Bechdel based on her own autobiographical graphic novel. It is the story of her growing up and coming into her own and discovering her own awakening sexuality. It is also the story of her difficult relationship with her eccentric father. The show deals with difficult subject matter including suicide and is not at all suitable for young children. Kelsey Theater's version of the show is is well cast, and they do a nice job with this difficult show. The show is not all dark and heavy. Some of the songs in particular are lighter and happier including a Raincoat of Love, a spoof of The Partridge Family and I'm Changing My Major to Joan, a song about Alison's first love. However, probably the most well known song from the show is Ring of Keys, a tour de force for the actress playing young Alison which was sung on the 2015 Tony Awards by the original young star of the show, Sydney Lucas. The show ultimately won an award for its score as well as four other Tony Awards including Best Musical. Kelsey Theatre does a good job with show, and it is worth seeing if you do enjoy shows that are different and deal with more serious subject matter.

Where-To-Go Wednesday - Turnstile Tours - Wafels & Dinges Factory Tour

We were given a free Turnstile Tours Wafels & Dinges Tour for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.

What: Turnstile Tours - Wafels & Dinges Factory Tour

Where: 264 Butler Street
             Brooklyn. NY

Who: All ages

When: Go here for schedule

Me - Turnstile Tours Wafels & Dinges Factory Tour was fascinating. We saw one of their trucks. We saw the factory where they make their waffles. We even got to try a waffle. The truck was really hot and really crowded. The factory was interesting. It was smaller than I thought it would be. I think of  a factory as being much bigger than the Wafels and Dinges factory was so I was surprised when I saw it. It was pretty much one room, and looked like a big kitchen. The Waffles tasted really good! Previously, I tried waffles when my Dad made them, and I didn't like them. Wafels & Dinges waffles were delicious! We learned about how they prepared the waffles. We even got to help put the waffles on the waffle iron and help make our own waffles. We got to taste a Wafels and Dinges cookie at the factory too, but they don't make them there. It tasted like gingerbread.We also got to taste a little bit of the kind of sugar they make the waffles with. The name Wafles & Dinges sounds kind of strange to me, but we found out Dinges means toppings. That was interesting because I love finding out what words mean. I hope I get to eat another Wafels & Dinges waffle soon. Maybe, next time I will try one with one of their toppings. The one we had on the tour was just plain. Whether you like waffles or not, you would probably enjoy this tour and a Wafels and Dinges waffle.

 
 
Mom - Wafels and Dinges was started in 2007 to bring delicious tasting Belgian waffles to the people of New York City. Now, their  iconic yellow trucks and kiosks can be found all over New York City including in Times Square. If you want to learn  more about this company, you will definitely want to take Turnstile Tours Wafels and Dinges Factory Tour. The tour is both informative and delicious. You will not only get to learn about the Waffles and how they are made, you will get to help make some, and you will even get to try one yourself. They are delicious and even if tasting one of Wafels and Dinge's waffles was all you got to do on the tour, it would still be worth it. However,  there is much more to the tour  than that. You will also learn about the history of this company, how their waffles are made, and what makes them so great. You will even get to  learn what the heck "dinges" means anyway. This is a great tour for all ages not only because there is food to eat at the end of it but because the whole thing is not too long. The factory is not too big. It is more like a giant kitchen than a factory. Accordingly, the whole tour only takes about an hour. The tour does not run every day, however, because the factory is not open every day. Tours are only given on Tuesdays and Fridays and not necessarily every Tuesday and/or Friday. Therefore, if you are interested in a tour, you will definitely want to check the web-site for the schedule.
