Today I offer you a slice of I'VE NEVERs. It's merely a simple list of things I've never done that can be turned into a game. This fun slice comes to you thanks to Mary Ann and Linda - and can be used as a classroom game, too!
Check out Linda B's post to learn how she uses this, and click here to see Mary Ann's nevers. Here is how it's done: Each player receives five (or three if there's less time) toothpicks. Each time the player HAS done the shared action, she or he must forfeit a toothpick. The one person—or you can choose to have three people—who still has at least one toothpick would be the winner(s)! Alternatively, you can time it and those with the most toothpicks left after a specified amount of time are the winners. Please comment and play along - it'll be fun! I've Never...
Comment below to tell if you lost any toothpicks (if you HAVE mown the lawn, HAVE competed in sporting events, HAVE done any of the other things I've never done) - and be sure to try this format on your own slice!

I love the one about Game of Thrones, I hear so much about that show but have also never seen an episode. It's hard to think of things I've never done.. hmm a challenge!

I played along when Linda did this. Lost four toothpicks - I've traveled to the Southern hemisphere, been to a hockey game, mowed grass, and operated the gas grill (with instructions from hubby).

Love is idea! I played along and lost all my toothpicks. I've been on a cruise, played a team sport, been to a hockey game, watched Game of Thrones, and played Minecraft (actually Minecraft Edu)!

I've lost 3 toothpicks: first time cruise last June, grew up mowing the lawns, and using a gas grill. Fun post!

Thanks for playing!! Just to clarify--saw a gas grill blow up and catch a house on fire once & sister had her foot run over when she ran up to neighbor who was mowing on a rider. I don't have an all-out fear of them, but those are two things I've managed to avoid so far. Ha ha!

What a fun game! This would be fun to play on those last days of school when we are searching for some fun time killers. I lost three - sports team, gas grill, and mowing. I was doing well until I hit the bottom of your list!

I lost 3 toothpicks. I mowed grass as a chore in high school. I have used a gas grill but own and prefer a charcoal gril. I cheered competively in high school and college.
