Colander head is a great game you can play with a bunch of friends. Some people have gotten seriously smashed trying to get a high score.

Necessary supplies:

  • One Colander
  • Lots of drinks
  • Friends
  • An urge to have loads of fun

How to play:

  1. It's turn based, so only one person can be playing the active part at any one time. This means either play with just a handful of people, or your friends will just have to wait their turn.
  2. The person starting off the game has to put a colander on his head. (Since you are the one excited about playing the game, it shows good sportsmanship if you start with yourself as the colander head.) The person starting then announces to everyone that he is a colander head. When everyone agrees with him, then the game can begin.
  3. With everyone in a circle, the colander head starts off by saying a word as the beginning of a sentence. The next person (go clockwise) has to say a word as the second word in the sentence. This goes on and on around the circle until somebody can't add another word. An important rule you have to remember is the sentence you are creating with your friends must have proper grammar.
  4. If someone goofs with proper grammar usage or if they can't think of a word to continue the sentence, then they are IT. The colander is then passed to them, and they have to tell everyone that they are a colander head. If the rest of the group doesn't think they are very genuine in their commitments, they can have the colander head yell it louder and louder until he convinces the group that he is in fact, a colander head.

There are ways to make it more interesting, and every sane person highly recommends each addition to the game:

  • The person that is IT must take a drink at the start of their turn. This will most likely impair their English skills, and ensure that they are IT more often.
  • Anyone that laughs has forfeited the game, and is therefore IT. This will encourage the people coming up with words to make it as funny as possible. The game will start over with a new sentence as soon as the person that laughed announces themselves a colander head.

Use Colander Head to spice up your next party or gathering!
