Blyton Character Acrostics
Hope there's not a game already like this but here's what to do anyway. Name a character from a Blyton book and describe them using an acrostic. (Only their first name) Then on the bottom of your post write another character's name for the next person.
EXAMPLE
Burly
Intelligent
Loving
Likeable
The first name is Janet (SS).

Re: Blyton Character Limericks
I like the idea, but those aren't limericks. Limericks are specific poems with rules about which lines rhyme and how many syllables they can have.
Jolly
And
Not
Extremely
Tidy
(sort of a sentence, if that's ok?)
Philip
Jolly
And
Not
Extremely
Tidy
(sort of a sentence, if that's ok?)
Philip

"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.

Re: Blyton Character Acrostics
That's the example Nigel. She then suggested the next name to be described - Janet - which Fiona then did. She then suggested Philip as the next one for someone else to do.

Re: Blyton Character Acrostics
Whoops! Sorry, it was mean't to be acrostics (I get mixed up with these kinds of things!) I've changed it now though!
Yes, sentences are fine!

Re: Blyton Character Acrostics
Just saying, that should be a double o! Have you read Disappearing Cat? Well, Tupping is the chief gardener in the next door house to Pip's house ( Lady Candling ) Yes, he is in FFO all right! Read Disappearing Cat soon, it's a pretty good book, with Bets the 'Centre Of Attention!'Poppy Hutchinson wrote:Not too sure who Tupping is. Is he out of FFO?
