OK, Goggle!
It's time to ask the great and all knowing search engine the big questions you have always wondered about. The only problem is "The Powerful Goggle" does not always give you the answer you expect...
Designed for All Ages (instructions and adaptations below)
Instructions
1. Have three to four people sit side by side- they will be the "Powerful Goggle" (If they want to turn their hands into eye goggles while they answer it's even better!).
2. Other players must ask Goggle questions. Any question must begin with “Ok Goggle...”. For example, “Ok Goggle, why is the sky blue?”
3. Goggle must answer the question one word at a time, one person at a time. Then Goggle ends the sentence by saying “Thus.” “Says.” “The.” “Powerful." "Goggle."- one word at a time.
4. Keep asking questions to Goggle and change up the people who are giving the answers.
