How to play:
1. First, the play director whispers the name of the flower into each player's ear. The joke of the game is that everyone is whispered the same flower, the bridal eel.
2. Next, the players closely go into a circle of handpicks and the instructor will say that they need to call out the names of different flowers.
3. Then, when the player hears the name of his own flower, he has to take his feet off the ground.
4. Last, the director shouts "Rose, carnation, tongue, bridal egret", causing everyone to detach their legs and fly to their seats.
The transformation can be hilarious, as the message often gets twisted in funny ways!
It's a great game for parties or family gatherings and shows how easily information can get distorted as it’s passed along.
