From Silly to Fun

After my keynote address (way too little time - especially since I started off with a game, which meant that I had to get people, who were sitting around tables, to rearrange themselves until each table was filled - but worth it all, you betcha. Fun for 300 teens and adults.), I led two, ninety-minute workshops. We played maybe seven funnish games, including such all-time favorites as: Bernie Lightens Up, Panther, Person, Porcupine, and Prui. I had maybe four minutes at the end of each session for random comments. At the end of the second session, this leather-coat-wearing, homeboyish-looking teen said: "When we started, I thought this stuff was silly. Too silly for me, I tell you. But near the end, I realized how fun it all was." And I beamed the whole way from Allentown, PA back to Redondo Beach, CA.
