Here's a simple game called Consequences: fold a paper into three parts, have someone draw a monster's head and just indicate at the fold with two marks where the neck goes, then fold it over; the next person draws the middle bit without looking at the head, and the third person takes the bottom bit, again without looking. Ta-dah! Surprise monster.

We spent much of the afternoon flipping through magazines, laughing at stupid headlines and finally cutting them up and making our own mash-up pages. I think Dan is going to turn them into an online readable magazine, but in the meantime, you can see some of our pages.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/mashup2-0ede35bc7b.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nMine started with a dumb article about the difficulty of fat girls and thin girls being friends (wha..?) but then I saw a shark movie advert and it all got very silly. \\r\n\u003C!--more Click here for lots more photos under the cut!!-->\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/mashup1-4d57c64b05.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/mashup8-5c9576ef13.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/mashup7-65e6865e3c.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/mashup4-2fee46a578.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/mashup5-fb24e93323.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/mashup10-dd66ca8e75.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/mashup3-dbec62cdd4.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/mashup6-2cb9eb73cf.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nEven though Dan was running the workshop, he still managed to mock up his own page.
