ACT had, in the era of the Altamont rock festival, no problem with a bunch of young weirdos travelling the country in a brightly coloured van.įred (cravat), Daphne (damsel in distress) and Velma (intellectual with Agnes Varda’s haircut) bounced off outer levels of the counterculture.
SANDWICH BIG SANDWICH FROM SCOOBY DOO TV
Which brings us neatly to the 50th anniversary of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! The Hanna-Barbera show was conceived to fill a gap after Action for Children’s Television (ACT), one of those endless busy-body organisations concerned with filth on telly, forced the cancellation on US TV of several cartoons deemed too violent. That was, after all, an occasional nickname for MDMA. If the shows got truly daring they could make reference to Scooby Snacks. The Adventures of Mandy and Molly ends with the heroes, bears in hooded tops, blowing whistles while dancing on a podium in rural Hertfordshire. Have a race to see who can eat it Scooby Style with the kids kneeling down on their knees and their hands behind their back!.Imagine an alternative universe in which children’s television of the early 1990s was taken up with references to ecstasy. Have colored whip cream or Jell-O (preferably yellow and blue – similar colors of Scooby) and put them in many bowls. The kids must be on their hands and knees, and the one who talks the most like Scooby Doo is the winner. The first team to wrap their mummy from head to toe is the winner (for this game you should get sturdy toilet paper that doesn’t tear easily). Have the teams compete at wrapping the Mummy with toilet paper. Have them decide who in the group is going to be the mummy (or decide that for them). Mummy Wrapĭivide the group into teams of three. The first team to finish this fun Scooby game is the winner. They continue this until the whole team has done it at least once. Then they give the pillowcase or blanket to the next person in their team. They need to get into the pillowcase (or put their feet in the middle of the big white sheet) and start jumping to a predetermined point and back. Give the first one in line a white pillowcase or a big white sheet. Have ghost sack races! Divide the group of kids into two, and have each team stand in a line. The kids can then walk around the party area like Shaggy and say “Scooby Doo, where are youuuuu?” The first kid to find Scooby is the winner. Hide a stuffed Scooby Doo toy or picture somewhere in the party area. This Scooby Doo game is best for younger kids. Dog Biscuite Hot PotatoĪ cool idea is to play hot potato, but instead use a dog biscuit or a dog bone. If Scooby doesn’t identify who it is, the game then continues. If Scooby identifies who it is from the moan, the two kids trade places and the kid who moaned becomes Scooby. As Scooby walks about blindly, the rest of the kids are in a circle around him and when Scooby touches someone, that kid has to moan and howl just like a ghost until Scooby can guess who the person is. Pick a kid to be Scooby Doo and have them blindfolded.
Then print out sandwiches and the kids need to pin each sandwich as close as they can to Scooby’s mouth while they’re blindfolded. Just print out a large picture of Scooby Doo and tape to the wall. You can either have the kids pair up or have one stand in front of the whole group. The kids need to find out who they are, and they do this by asking no and yes questions (for example: “Am I a girl?”).
Who am I?įor this Scooby Doo game you first need to find lots of pictures of Scooby Doo and the gang and tape a different character on each kid’s back. Here’s an awesome collection of Scooby Doo game ideas, perfect for throwing the coolest ever Scooby Doo birthday party.
