Here is a game that we plan to use in next weeks Scout meeting. I have attached the rules and the pieces in case anybody wants to try it. I took the rules and modified them slightly from another site. Continue reading

Create your band name and album cover
I love this idea. Definitely something you have to do before you sleep. I found this on a friends facebook site.
Here is my first attempt. It took longer to choose a typeface than anything else.
To Do This
1 – Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 – Go to Quotations Page and select “random quotations”
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.
3 – Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 – Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together.
5 – Post it to FB with this text in the “caption” or “comment” and TAG the friends you want to join in.
Graphic resource
Ever find yourself in need of a graphic effect or pattern that you just don’t have time to create? This was my exact situation today. I had to ask someone to create it for me but the result you get just isn’t what you want – if only you had some time to do it yourself.
I discovered this site today
In fact the exact thing I need is already there, so I’ll be downloading this tomorrow.
I know it’s an easy job to create a nice brushed metal effect (if you have the time) but these are perfect.
There are other icons and patterns available
