My husband and I host a game night at our country club and the game that we play is Family Feud. However, I'm running out of survey answers and wonder if my friends here at LT would help me by answering a simple fast survey. You can reply here or send me a PM or and e-mail at cyderryATyahoo.com.

I just ask that if you are going to answer here, that you not look at anyone else's answers until you have posted yours.

Thanks so much for your help.

Here is the survey........................

Name something you like about Winter.

Name something you dislike about Winter.

Name something you do every morning after getting out of bed

Name an errand you do going to or from work

Name something you see in your backyard

Name something related to Valentine's Day

Name something specific that water is used for

It's been a while since I went through a proper winter, but:

1) Trying not to slip on ice (if you're not in a rush, of course).
2) The days get dark early.
3) Get dressed and stump downstairs to have breakfast with the kids (exciting, I know).
4) I don't work, other than chase the kids from pillar to post, but I occasionally do the shopping after volunteering at school.
5) A tri-colour frangipani tree (as in the flowers are tri-coloured).
6) An unexpected gift made by one of the kids in school.
7) Taking showers.
8) Elephant dung paper (I'm sorry; but I was going through my photos earlier today, and that's the first one that came to mind)

Hope that works for you.

I couldn't remember anything I loved about winter, but
1) Name something you like about Winter : I think the best thing is seeing the first shoots that presage Spring.

7) Name something specific that water is used for : my first thought was actually 'swimming'.

ETA : This year, winter fell in June / July for me, so I couldn't count Christmas etc. But we did have holidays, and had the pleasure of seeing the kids enjoying snow for the first time.

65> My mind went that direction. One of the St. Valentine's died horribly - mob massacre on that day called St Valentine's day massacre, therefore - massacre. I didn't think it'd be a common response (I thought snow for winter would be common), but didn't think I'd be the only one saying massacre.

I suppose I could have said "red" for blood and have people think I meant the color or something. heh.

It isn't a day I 'celebrate' in any way, so I do not have a connection to chocolate, hearts, cards, flowers, etc.

#88 Yes, we still have milk delivered, I also have an organic veg box delivered, which does some dairy and other groceries too. Cuts down on the need for shopping trips greatly. It is rarely cold enough for the milk to freeze on the doorstep and push up the lid, but it did happen a few times in the cold winters 2/3 years ago.

Tonight at our country Club my husband and I will be hosting game night and the game is Family Feud. Three of the questions on this survey will be used tonight
Name something you like about Winter.
Name something you dislike about Winter
Name something related to Valentine's Day
The other questions will probably be used in March when we host again. I wanted to have something seasonal in the questions and answers, so these fit right in.

Thanks again to all who took the time to answer!

98Bjace
Jan 11, 2013, 8:34 pm

Robert, Family Feud is an American game show that adapts itself easily to being played by group. There are two teams. On television the teams are each made up of family members so you have in effect two feuding families. Each team gets a question like "Name something you like about winter" The television staff has surveyed a group of people prior to the show and has collected the five most common answers to the question. The team has to guess as many of the 5 common answers as they can. The team that does the best wins.

Do you just host or do you participate yourself? (And if you do, did you win?)

103cyderry
Jan 12, 2013, 11:34 am

My husband and I just host.
He is the emcee - doing the questions and revealing the answers.
I'm the scorekeeper and judge- my part is comparing the answer they gave to the real answer and award points accordingly. I'm going non-stop once we start. While the players are working on their answers for the current question, I'm scoring the past question. Last night a family of Mom and Dad, 3 kids (ages 6-12) aunt and uncle won. The kids were very excited. I try to have questions that the kids can answer too, so that it really is family night out. One of the adult teams had a hard time with the kid questions.
Example of the kid question last night - Name a character who found love and 'lived happily ever after' - the answers were Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Shrek - the kids got Shrek but the adults didn't. For scoring if you get all the answers right you get a bonus of 25 points so that helped the winning team.

We had 68 people - 10 teams - several of the teams were people that had never come before, and it was the largest crowd we've ever had. We're trying to get people(families) to come out t the club in the winter and evenings so that they can see that there are fun activities and not just golf for Dad. I'm the head of the Ladies Social committee so I've been working on Ladies events as well. The ladies book club is starting to grow.

Once again, thanks to everyone for your help on the survey!

I turned on the TV yesterday and stumbled across a quiz show called 'Pointless' where contestants need to guess the least common answers given by a group of people rather than the most common. The fewer people who gave that answer from the survey, the fewer points you score and the aim is to score as little as possible. It looked quite tricky to second-guess what would be a common answer and then go for something much more obscure.
