Family Fortunes

Hey GF,

 

I'm hosting a quiz night in which one of the contests on the agenda is Family Fortunes.

 

I've done it before, and it always ends up being a good laugh. One of the things I try and do is source the 100-person survey myself, and in the past the GF has been an invaluable outlet for reaching that mark.

 

So, if you have a spare minute, would as many people as possible be able to give answers to the 12 categories below?

 

You don't have to give it too much thought - in fact, it's probably more true if you don't - just put down the first thing that comes into your head. But can I ask, without being a massive killjoy, that you try and keep it serious. I appreciate comedy answers more than anyone, but it doesn't really help me in compiling genuine responses.

 

So without further ado, please can you:

 

1) Name a fairytale

2) Name a famous movie monster

3) Name something that rises

4) Name something slippery

5) Name something you put into a salad

6) Name something that you close your eyes to do

7) Name something that moves very slowly

8) Name something that makes you grumpy

9) Name a weapon used in ancient times

10) Name someone who wears white clothing

11) Name a place people ask you to 'be quiet'

12) Name something people make into a ball

 

Cheers in advance for any responses; they're all greatly appreciated.
