Doesn't that sound like a headline you could find on the cover of the News of the World? The Sun maybe?
We've just finished playing a couple of rounds of one of our favourite games "Man Bites Dog" the premise of which is to make your own news headlines from a set of cards dealt to you. Of course there is scoring and lots of animated discussion about whether or not a headline was valid; they can be as nonsensical as you please (in fact they should be) however they must be properly formed sentences (well, as much as headlines are!) This is a great game for children (and some adults) learning grammatical rules.
We also played four rounds (a full game) of Think Blot. You find "objects" in the "ink blots" on each page with points scored for originality and finding the objects selected by the makers of the game. D was quite frustrated by the final round, being mentally and visually challenged by tiredness and made a great joke of the final round by listing a lot of worms, snakes, pieces of string, balloons on string, various balls and a number of round or roundish fruits. We were all in fits of laughter and I later thought this would be a great drinking game!
