Do Something Fun

Improvisational Card Game

I created and played a new card game with friends. This fun and random game was based on the improv games played in class last week. Everyone started with 7 cards. The dealer first lays a card followed by the remaining players in counterclockwise order. After a player lays a card, they follow with one sentence made up off the top of their head. A jumbled and confusing story is formed with each player contributing. If at anytime a card that possesses the same numerical value or color of another card in a player’s hand, that player could lay his or her card out of turn and interrupt the story with their new sentence.

Mind Map

My health and wellness mind map was created over the course of about an hour and a half using the PDES 2701 web based application. When I found myself stuck, I googled a basic health term to jump start my mind and draw more connections.

Suggested Themes

  1. Multiple Sclerosis - A demyelinating disease with no cure; affecting millions of people globally. The true cause of this disease is not currently known.
  2. Diabetes - A disease that affects almost half a billion people a year. Every year the cure is said to be just around the corner. However, no such cure has been fully realized.
  3. Environmental Health - Everyone is affected by their environment around them, both locally and globally. Not everyone lives in an environment that sustains a healthy lifestyle.
