Christmas Games?

an old thread but a goody that I was just looking for

Friday night I was at an 18th birthday party, Happy Birthday Brian, and we played the Moon is Round. This is similar to the scissors game I mention earlier.

Everyone standing in a circle, take a walking stick or umbrella and the first person has to draw a circle in the middle while saying the moon is round, then using the stick/umbrella says, has two eyes and a mouth while drawing these in the middle of the imaginary circle. They then have to pass the stick from one hand to the other and pass it on to the next person.

Everyone has to do exactly the same as the first person but they are only correct if they pass from one hand to the other before passing the stick on. Invariably everyone is too busy concentrating on the imaginary drawing of the moon that they don't notice the pass from one hand to the other.

It was hysterical on Friday night watching all these clever young 18 year olds who are off to uni shortly getting very frustrated at being wrong, Sorry Zander but you did make us laugh.

A (messy) game we used to play as a family at christmas would be as follows.....

Fill a largish bowl with flour and pack it down as tight as you can.

Turn the bowl upside down on a plate or tray,and lift the bowl carefully. (so left standing is a bowl shaped mould of flour)

Someone removes a ring and places it on top of the flour

Now all sit in a circle around the flour,and one by one use a knife (butter knife will do) to cut a section of the flour away.

Cut away as little or as much as you like-trying carefully not to colapse the flour.

The person the flour colapses on has to remove the ring with their teeth (key some one pushes their face right into the flour)
