Here's a fun game that is really good for developing descriptions. Basically, you take a sentence, and then rewrite it without using any of the important words. ex: "I lost my glasses yesterday." Don't use "lost", "glasses", or "yesterday." "I haven't been able to find my 'extra eyeballs' since the day before." It's fun. Really. So I'll post a sentence, and then the next person'll rewrite it and over up a new sentence. Ready? "Will we be eating tacos today?" No "will," "eating", "tacos", or "today."
Can we expect to consume Mexican sandwiches before tomorrow? "I'll be driving across town this Thursday." No 'I'll', 'driving', 'town' or 'Thursday'.
