In this very funny game, none of the players is allowed to laugh. Here's how it goes: All the players sit close together in a circle. One of them starts the game by turning to the right-hand neighbor and doing something: The player may squeeze the neighbor's arm, muss up hair, straighten clothes, make a face, etc. Whatever that player does, the neighbor must do it to the next player to the right, and that player must do the same thing to the next neighbor. This goes on alt around the circle until it gets back to the first player. Anyone who laughs is out of the game. Or if you prefer, that person can pay a forfeit to stay in the game. (See Forfeits from the Classic Games.) The player to the right of the first person then has a chance to do something different with the next person, and the game goes on. This game is more fun if the circle is small. If you're in a large group, try forming a number of circles - 10 is a good number for one circle. |
