Holidays.
The question as to their birthmonths is asked of the guests, and they are grouped together accordingly, the Januarys over behind the piano, the Junes at the rear entrance, etc., etc. Each group is then asked to dramatize a holiday of the month it represents. No properties have been made available as this is to be distinctly an impromptu affair. They are all given about ten minutes for preparation, and then they are called on, one by one, to do their stunts. They are not called by name however, but by “location.” For example, the first group called on might be the one in the bay window, and the next, the one in the dining room.
When each group has finished its stunt, and only then, the audience is to guess what holiday they represent, and if the guesses are incorrect, the stunt must be repeated.
The following list of holidays has been found to work to good advantage.
1. January—New Year.
2. February—Washington’s birthday.
