Answer
Hi Ahmed,  Thanks for your wonderful question!  You are truly the Renaissance Man of the Arts for Egypt.  I wish you could find all of your desires fulfilled in one game, yet like people, its hard to be all things to one person.  You may have to find several games to meet such a diversified group of needs.  Due to your wide breathe of interests you might break down your desires into groups and work from there when it comes to games.  Also, since you are so creative you can adapt the rules of various games to meet your own needs, while creating your own game format that might include cards, props and related materials for so many activities.  Such an endeavor could be a challenge for you, yet a way to pilot a game that you may publish someday.  

You have already looked at Rigamarole game and Cranium game (WOW You're Good game is similar) which are the closest I know of to meeting your overall desires.  Once ... the Storytelling game (Golden) and Once Upon A Time card game are great for telling stories, though I bet you could adapt them to be far more colorful.  As for writing scripts for movies or plays, most games are related to trivia about movies or plays that already exist, so this is a wide open area for you to develop as well.  In the world of singing and dancing, you have the same situation as far as games, most are designed around existing songs and general dancing, not the creative aspects as you are looking for.

I wish I could offer you more because I never want to get in the way of your creative potential.  If you wish to explore this more, you might look google the "boardgamegeek" or "donsgamecloset" to see thousands of well-organized board games in various categories with lots of descriptions.  Feel free to email me through Don's Game Closet if you wish to pursue more ideas and exciting ways of develop your ideas and abilities through games.  

With great wishes for you, Don
