Win a Trip to Australia – Challenge Response

So blogville as you know I have to complete six challenges to win a four tickets to Sydney Australia two for me and two for one of you. Read more here Well here is my response for the 1^st challenge where we had to create a game based around sports.

1000heads people here it is, Angels game I called it Sydney Bowling. Yup I stole your name and your idea and made it better!! People enjoy bowling much more than cricket and bowling is for everyone whereas cricket is long and confusing and the only time I watch it is when the West Indies are playing and there are some Sex Gods on the pitch.

I designed a pretty game board (which took forever, I want points on effort) and made up some rules, it was going to be so cool when I filmed myself playing it. Unfortunately my colour printer ran out of ink, my camera ran out of battery and no one would play with me, Mr special said that he had other sports we could participate in together and….well…… then I got distracted so here is the write up

Sydney Bowling

Rules – roll the coin from the bottom of the game board to land on one of the objects. First person to get to 100 wins!

If you land on a white space your miss a turn

Land on the bowling pins - 50 points

The quickest way to 100!

Land on Tennis – loose 20 points

Tennis in Sydney is really popular and on the 10^th Jan 2010 they are hosting the Medibank International Sydney Tennis Tournament as part of the Australia Open. Many tennis stars will be there.

Land on Sydney Cricket – 20 points

Australia has a great cricket team (not as fine as the West Indies but there you go) anyway they have a fantastic cricket stadium and play lots of good matches there

Land on Sydney Soccer – 20 points

Sydney Soccer is what we call football.

Land on Sydney’s Olympic Stadium – 15 Points

As you all know Sydney hosted the Olympics in the year 2000 where Australia won 58 medals at (16 gold, 25 silver, 17 bronze).

Land on the Rugby Square – Loose 20 Points

I don’t like Ruby that’s why you loose points but if you do you better get to Sydney in 2010 where they are hosting the World Rugby Festival!

Land on the Beer Square – Loose 30 Points

But you can have a beer

Conclusion – Sydney is a sporting city, there are lots and lots of sports in Sydney not just cricket! So a great place to go if that’s what you like to watch and do on holiday.

Me I don’t….I like the beach!

My Next Challenge is to create an outfit that screams 'I'm all about Sydney'. Hand-stitched, elegantly sketched or charity-shop purchased, as long as it stays clear of the Crocodile Dundee 'cork-hung hat', it's up to me!

Any help is really appreciated - remember anyone that posts on a challenge post also has a chance of winning x2 tickets! Read more here
