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”

        • 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.
