No, this is not a game with new cars but with real lemons!Divide the group into two or more equal
lines. Give the leader of each line a full-length pencil and a full-grown lemon. As the teams line
up single file, mark a starting line and a finish line along the floor (about 20 feet or 6 meters
away at the most). The object of the game is to push the lemon with the pencil along the floor in a straight line - if you can. Each player must push it to the finish line and back to the next teammate in line. The team to finish first wins. What you discover is that the lemon always keeps rolling, despite a slight wobble. You'll have trouble keeping it in your lane, so be sure the furniture is pushed back. A hint from experienced lemon-rollers: don't push too fast. This generally causes the lemon to roll the wrong way. |
