Silly Thing #1

 
The rules of Steam Roller are quite simple really. 
Needs 2 or more players.

  1. Lie down on floor as straight as possible.  Other participants should lie down like this as well.
  2. Roll around on the floor with your arms at your side and your legs straight.
  3. Roll slowly over other participants and chant equally slowly “Steam Roller, steeeeaamm roooollleeerr…”
  4. Occasionally run out of gas in mid-roll so that the other participant has to bear your weight.  He or she may try to give you pretend gas so you will start back up.
  5. Sometimes get a burst of crazy energy and roll really fast back and forth over the other participant.  Chant quickly “Steam Roller, STEAM ROLLERSTEAMROLLERSTEAMROLLER…”
  6. Continue until you are exhausted or until your clothes are sufficiently covered in carpet fuzz and pet hair.

I hadn’t played Steam Roller in a long time but re-introduced it to my kids last night.  Good times.

  1. Did anyone think to take pictures or video of this most awesome game????? And do you think you will have any other games in your 30 days of silliness? Like maybe a game where you buy the game parts at the front entrance of a grocery store with a roll of quarters???

  3. I played this game when I was a kid. I figured everyone did. I'm quickly learning that's not the case. It's a fabulous game - I highly suggest it, Cowlist.
