Fun and Games
WE have been Twenty-One and Outing on and off for some years now from 2ZB, and now I find that "Clumps" has sprung up almost over-night in the 2YA children’s session. As played under avuncular aegis the game contains as much scope for education as for entertainment, since the object, once guessed, provides the occasion for some brief explanatory remarks by Uncle Cedric. ' I now know, for example, that the Matterhorn is more accessible from the Swiss side than the Italian, and that the original of Barrie’s Peter Pan was one of five. It’s a pity that we cannot have more games over the air. The announcers do their best to make quiz sessions frolicsome, but are foiled by the competitors who, with both eyes on the jack-. pot, are in serious and high-minded mood. When television comes (she'll be coming round the mountains when she comes, which is why, according to the experts, she isn’t coming yet) we can
possibly look forward to refreshingly non-verbal dallyings with Adverbs and dumb-show charades. |
