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 the skirt fitted the little old lady beautifully and I thought, it looks better on her.

Fortunately I didn't say anything because I remember seeing her before doing charity work with the homeless children and I even gave her an extra $10.00. I felt good..

Fortunately the lovely little old lady was lonely and wanted some company for dinner so she asked me to keep her company and we had a yummy stir fry and became friends
