Show M CASTER PARTJfQH A FTER the Lenten season, what's better than to have an Easter Party? Easter games, Easter trimmings trim-mings and everything. Here are a couple of games for your party. You can supply the rest with Easter decorations, bunnies, bun-nies, cotton chicks, eggs and so forth. For a starter, play "Good and Bad Eggs." In this game, the players play-ers are the "eggs" and the basket is a row of chairs placed close to the wall at one end of a room: Have every other chair placed with its back to the room. But, there is one less chair than players. The "eggs" stand against the opposite wall, facing it. At the word go, the eggs race to get into the basket or sit in the chairs. The player that doesn't get a seat is a bad egg and must drop out ot the game. The good egg is the player who gets the last chair because one chair is removed each race, just like in musical chairs. A candy egg would be a nice prize for the winner. 'pO play "Bunny Hunt" the play- , exs divide into two teams. Here 1 also you have a basket, but it is ' called a "Bunny." The Bunny is filled with paper eggs, or candy eggs, one for each player. j Hide the Bunny in a hard-to-find spot and the players must search for it. When one player finds the basket, he must not tell anyone. He takes one egg, goes back to the main room and sits down quietly. The game can be played by teams and the team whose players all find the bunny first wins. A NOTHER game which has a similarity to musical chairs is "Poor Egg." You will need an egg for this paper, candy or hard-boiled hard-boiled and music. The music can ie supplied by piano, record player play-er or radio. Players sit in a circle. When the music begins, players start passing the egg to each other. Before a player can pass, he must say to the player on his left, "Have an egg?" The player receiving the egg must say, "No, thank you," take the egg, and before passing it to the player on his left, say, "Have an egg?" and so on. When the music stops suddenly, whoever has the egg at the time drops out of the game. i Preparedness Little Janet had been sent upstairs up-stairs to get washed and ready for school. She called down to her mother, "What dress am I going to wear?" Her mother answered. "Just get washed, never mind what dress." "But," Janet protested. "I want to know whether to wash for long sleeves or short." . |
