Then you can play the same game again with another letter to start each name. One variation of this is for you to play f the game orally and go around tne circle giving the names of places that begin with the chosen letter. You continue giving names that no one else has mentioned until you have spelled down and only two and then only one is left. RIDDLES • A quiet game is to use RIDDLES-- give each guest a slip of paper containing a riddle and the answer. He reads the riddle to the crowd and each one tries to guess it. Others follow in turn. This will generally open the way for more riddles, given and answered voluntarily by members of the group. Another method is to give the rid. die to each person and the answer to some one else. Of course if you use the names of local persons and places in the riddles, it is all the better. Jokes can be started and answered in the same way.

A. of Chicago Maybe some of you younger folks are getting "scared" because ^OU don't like geography. Just try this game out and you will find it to be a lot of fun. Every one should have -a pencil and paper for this game. You pick out any letter of the alphabet and agree on a time for the game. Suppose you pick out the letter "C". Then every one writes down all of the geographical names of countries, | states, counties, cities, or villages, mountains, rivers, oceans or lakes that begin with the letter "C". Each one keeps his list to himself so that no one else will see his names Having the letter "c", you cannot use the same name twice even though one is a city and one a river. When the time keeper announces that time is up which may be five minutes or ten minutes or whatever you choose, you all stop promptly. Then one of you reads the names that you have. Read Your List The rest of you look at your lists, as he reads, and if any of you have the same names, you and he and every one else who has that name must cross it off your lists. The game is to see how many names of actual geographical places that you can get of which no one slse will think of, After one finishes reading his list, the next one reads those names from his list which have not been crossed out and you go through the same process of each one crossing out any names that two t>r more have in common. Finally the last one reads the names that he has left that no one else had. Then you each count up and see who has the most names that no one else had. This person is the champion for this particular game and gets the gold plated wash boiler. It c Mr. and Mrs. Martin H.
