WRITERS’ CIRCLES
Fun and (party) games
Draw on your writing group’s memories in these children’s party-themed prompts and activities from Julie Phillips
Julie Phillips
We all have our favourite party games from our childhoods: pass the parcel, musical chairs, pin the tail on the donkey, to name but a few. When you think of them, or see children playing them today, our memories of our own childhood parties can stir up a minefield of emotions. The intensity of those emotions and memories, seen through the lens of adulthood, with decades between the event and the present day, might have warped and changed, and it is these emotions that we are going to tap into this month to inspire your writing.
