Fortunately/unfortunately

Hey everyone, I like playing games, so I thought that I would start one that I sometimes play with the pre-schoolers at work. It's called "fortunately/ unfortunately". The aim of the game is tell and create a story, kind of like a serial, but the beginning of each sentence or paragraph has to be with words fortunately or unfortunately. The trick is that they have to alternate. It can be a creative, silly or just plain crazy. But the aim is to keep the story going. I'm going to start with.....

It was a bright sunny morning, so today I went to the beach. Unfortunately everyone else had the same idea as I did, but.....

Next person is to continue the story starting with fortunately.

Feel free to join in!

Fortunately there was a pier providing shade so I could swim without worrying about the sun or the hot guys. They were too busy posing in the sun!!!

Fortunately I someone lent me their snorkel & mask & showed me a great spot to look at the starfish & some other interesting marine creatures. Enjoyed myself too much to worry about anything else.

Unfortunately a shark started swimming towards me, he stopped when he reached me and gave me a big smile. he wanted his photo taken.

Fortunately we were in Victoria where sharks don't bite so I just got a great story to share. I think there must be signs in sharl language at the borders saying Don't bite "" which the sharks all read & follow!!!! Pity NSW & SA etc don't do the same!!!

Unfortunately I didn't have a camera with me to take a photo of the smiley shark and gave him a pat on the head instead

Fortunately, I still have my arm as the shark was more interested in the person next to me with the camera.

Unfortunately the person next to me was the guy I went to the movies with, the one who's girlfriend tipped popcorn and cola over him. Guess he's having a bad day.
