Game 48

The Show Nobody Wanted to Miss

Sunday Night at Home

The game's question

Any memory will do: read it aloud, ask a little more, and let the story unfold.

Sunday night. Baths were done, everyone was in pajamas or a bathrobe, and the whole family settled in front of the TV set. Maybe there was a TV dinner on a folding tray, or a bowl of popcorn to share. Then the show began, the one nobody wanted to miss. Tell each other: what was it at your house, and who sat where?

Tell the story—your house, your evening

Need a hint?

Ask about the small things: who got the best seat, who could stay up late, what there was to snack on. Repeat what you hear—“All of you on the couch?”—and the rest follows.

Why this game : Those evenings make everyday life back then feel close again—and give the one telling the story the joy of passing something on.
