Pranks. Practical Jokes. Dastardly deeds of trickery. What to send our missionary for the First of April in two weeks? Hmm …
After brainstorming for a bit, I decided to create my own “Make Your Companion Laugh Game”.
Missionaries
First, I searched online for the corniest jokes, the kind of jokes your grandpa used to tell. Jokes that are so bad that they are good! I printed these terrible jokes onto cardstock, each joke within its own square.
Then I cut the squares and added a sheet of instructions. Fill in the rest of the package with yummy treats, and its ready to post!
Make Your Companion Laugh Game Instructions
Object of game: Get your companion to smile or laugh before you do!
- Shuffle cards and split deck in half. Place each half-deck face-down in front of each player.
- Missionary with the birthday closest to April 1st goes first.
- First player takes their top card and reads the joke aloud. Missionary may use vocal sounds, facial expressions, or any method NOT involving physical contact to get opponent to smile.
- After opponent has finished reading the card, second missionary has a turn. Continue taking turns until someone has smiled.
