Did you see the second Avengers scene after the final
credits that showed the banged up super heroes sitting down for a meal
together? You can have your own super heroes participate in a “movie mealtime”
with this fun activity. All you need to do is put a bowl of toothpicks in the
middle of the table. One person begins by quoting a line from a movie. The
first person to guess the movie gets the next turn. They share a quote and the
game continues. If no one can guess the movie with one quoted line, that person
takes a toothpick and gives a second quote from the same movie. They continue
to take toothpicks and quote lines until the movie is guessed. The goal is to
acquire as many toothpicks as possible by choosing an old movie or
unrecognizable quotes.
There are only a few rules:
- The movie must be something everyone in the family has seen.
- The quote does not have to be word for word but as close as possible. Mom and Dad’s memories are only so good! The quote cannot be paraphrased or purposefully altered to make it more difficult to guess.
- The quote must be more than three words.
If you have lots of movie-buffs in your family, try this at
your next dinner. Your loved ones will thank you because “true love is the
greatest thing in the world except for a delicious MLT sandwich- mutton,
lettuce and tomato when the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe!”
And what movie does that come from?
Answer: The Princess Bride. “Good luck storming the
castle!!”
