The Little Theater.
The plan of “Holidays” is used over and over with different “motives.” One of them is musical. The words of a song like “Yankee Doodle” are written out on separate slips which are numbered alike. They might all be numbered. “1.” The second song might be “Dixie,” and its words are similarly written out on slips and numbered “2.” Each guest is given a number and is asked to find all others who have the same number. When everyone has found his or her group they are to have just a very few minutes in which to practice their song. When the time is up the leader calls out each group in turn and asks them to sing their song, at the same time putting enough dramatic action into their performance to really get the motive of the song across! The group which the judges agree on as best gets a bag of peanuts.
