The Ellen DeGeneres 5 Second Rule game - perfect for mood boosters

So on the Ellen DeGeneres show, there was a game played with celebrities called the 5 Second Rule. Basically one is asked to name a category of three things (e.g. 3 fruits that are red) and you have to answer in 5 seconds or less then tap a buzzer. There are are clips of various 5 Second Rule games on YouTube. There is also a board game but may only be available in USA.

 


I was watching the games and realised that, by quickly searching your knowledge to fork out 3 answers in 5 seconds or less is an instant mood booster and may also help clarify your mind/ thoughts.

 

So to those with mental health issues (including myself) - you may watch the game on Ellen on YouTube and even answer the questions yourself. The social experience is also worth it.

 

Just a friendly tip to keep your mental health up on days when you are bored. 🙂

This is such a fun idea Scarlett! 
You may not have meant to introduce this game to the thread here, but we can! 

 

Guess what I did last night? 
Well you won't guess because it's so funny.... I got my kids to download the "BeReal" app to my phone! 
So once a day the ping goes off and you have to set your phone camera to your face AND what you're looking at. 
It's an attempt to counter the yuck effects of Social Media fakery to BE REAL, for people to show their REAL lives happening. 

 

It's great! The kids work at a popular fast food chain and THEY encourage their workers to use this and take pics at work. Go this restaurant chain. Love it. 

 

Thankyou Scarlett, you're a WIN for the forums lol
Love EM
