H E R E 'S A G A M E Words and Things Any word of about six letters is announced or chosen, and each player makes himself a chart by printing the letters of this word in a column down the left side of a sheet of paper, then up the right side in irev'e'rse' order. For a party program the charts shouldrbe prepared in advance. If the word "parted" is used, for example, the chart will look like this: 0'38:de Pt)wade The object of the game is to fill the space in the lines between these letters. The first line requires a word that starts with P and ends with D, as "procrastinated", or "precipitated". The second line requires a word that starts with A and ends with E, as "acquaintance" or "accelerative", and so on. The players should use the longest words tney_can think of, because the length affects the score. The person who has been able to fill in the greatest number of letters forming words with the proper beginning and ending is the winner. One point is scored for every letter of the words added. This "8113“1‘1153"~ " >4 " r r »- ,- a A player and his partner select four objects, two situated above the others, or they place four objects at the corners of a square. Secretly they agree to name these objects asgfollows. This ‘ this one That That one The player then leaves the room or hides his eyes, stating that he will guess which one of the objects the group has chosen. When the choice has been made the partner begins to ask questions. He indicates the right odflect by using its right name when he points to it. For example, he may point to the upper left object and say, "Is it that?" The player immediately answers "No", because the right name is "This." His partner next asks, "Is it this one?" pointing to the upper right object. The player replies, "Yes," because his partner named the object by its right name as he pointed to it. This game may be made more baffling if the player and his partner agree that after a certain number of questions or repetitions of the game the names of the objects shall be reVersed. Still later the chosen object can be indicated by use of a wrong name instead of its right one. v Tolmies Corners â€" stormont I'm enclosing a copy of a verSe composed by members of our forum used as a closing song.
