Sweet silliness for playful couples

These are really not games at all, but pointlessly playful moments of shared, and somewhat intimate silliness.

Playing with words

• The Blessings Game – maybe one of the potentially most loving of the semi-games
• It Could be Worse – a good game to keep things in perspective
• Shared Fantasies – you can play most of these with each other and with your friends
  • Yes…and
  • Polaroid
  • Phantasy Photoshop
  • Inner-Eye Movie
  • Inner Elevator
• Shared silliness
  • The “Real” Verbal Ping Pong
  • Baa Baa Twinkle EFG
  • Everlasting Games
  • Round Conversation

Playing with a little touching

• Contact Calisthenics – OK, maybe a lot of touching
• Food Games (intimate)
• Hand Land (again with the fantasy)
• More silliness
  • Higher Five
  • Twoddling – twiddle each other’s thumbs
  • Cross-Birding
  • Cross-Frogging

Playing at a restaurant

• Found Object Crosswords

Playing while walking around

• Free Form Frisbee Golf
• Cell Phone Walk – while you’re on a walk, talk to each other on your cell phones. If you don’t have cell phones, pretend you do.
• Merrygoround Horse Walk – When walking, go up on your toes with each step – try to do it so that you’re like merrygoround horses – you being up when the other is down. (many more walking games of this ilk)
• Imaginary Foreigners – pretend you’re both foreigners, each from a different country. Speak to each other in tongues or gibberish or mumbles. Go to a restuarant together and continue being foreign. When it’s time to pay the check, take out a random collection of money and ask if it’s enough.
