DA DO RON RON
Edit on Google Docs
DA DO RON RON
Instructions:
Round 1
Players in a circle
Explain that players take turns offering a new original rhyme in the rhythm of the song. Each new verse continues the same AAAAA rhyme scheme Example
Example
Player A: “I met him on a Monday, and his name was Pete.”
Everyone: “Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron”
Player B: “He was so suave he knocked me off my feet.”
Everyone: “Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron. Yeah!”
Player C:“He kissed so sweet.
Everyone: “Yeah”
Player D:“He dressed so neat.”
Everyone:“Yeah!”
Player E:“He was so discreet.”
Everyone:“Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron.”
The song continues to the next verse with a new rhyme
Round 2:
The Rhyme scheme changes to AABBBB
Example
Player A: “I met him on a Monday, and his name was Pete.”
Everyone: “Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron”
Player B: “He was so suave he knocked me off my feet.”
Everyone: “Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron. Yeah!”
Player C:“He kissed so good.
Everyone: “Yeah”
Player D:“I knew he would.”
Everyone:“Yeah!”
Player E:“Just like he should”
Everyone:“Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron.”
Notes:
Remember that you don’t have to say many words, keep it simple.
If your line is the one that sets up a rhyme, make it easier on your scene partners by ending your line with a simple, rhymable word.

DA DO RON RON ELIMINATION
Instructions:
Players in a circle or in a line that cycles around
Explain that players take turns offering a new original rhyme in the rhythm of the song. Each new verse continues the same AAAAA rhyme scheme Example
Example
Player A: “I met him on a Monday, and his name was Pete.”
Everyone: “Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron”
Player B: “He was so suave he knocked me off my feet.”
Everyone: “Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron. Yeah!”
Player C:“He kissed so sweet.
Everyone: “Yeah”
Player D:“He dressed so neat.”
Everyone:“Yeah!”
Player E:“He was so discreet.”
Everyone:“Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron.”
The song continues to the next verse with a new rhyme
The song should get faster over time (it probably will naturally anyway)
This continues until someone can’t produce a rhyme
When someone fails they are eliminated, and a new song starts
This goes until just one person survives, and they are the winner
Notes:
Remember to let the song get faster and faster as a round goes on
When starting off the rhyme, don’t purposefully use an unrhymable word just to spite others.
