A simple game for children that results in amusing stories being created.

Consequences is a game that dates back decades. Although simple by comparison to many modern games, its charm and entertaining outcomes ensure that its popularity endures in many families.

Each player has a special printed sheet of paper (provided) full of boxes. Each individual begins by writing down a man’s name in the top box on their sheet (not allowing other players to see what they have written). Then everyone folds their paper over to the dotted line under the box and passes the paper to the left. Next everyone writes something in the second box, then folds the paper over the box and passes it on. All the boxes have instructions on the left telling you what to write. This continues until the final box is completed and the paper is passed on one more time.

Players then take turns to unfold and read out their papers. There is no scoring, the game revolves around the entertainment provided by the stories that emerge from the papers.
