Rhyming Partners.
Familiar rhymes are cut in two, one side being placed on a plate for the men and the other side on a plate for the ladies. The two plates are passed to the men and ladies respectively, and it is the business of each man to find the lady who has the other half of his rhyme.
When they have all found their partners, before they can have any refreshments, if this is refreshment time, each couple in turn must stand before the others and glibly recite the nursery rhyme found on their cards.
Superlatives. (Small Group.)
In this case it is the girls who must find partners. They are given cards on which are written brief, two-word descriptions of the men who will act as their partners. The descriptions may be similar to those following:
1. Biggest foot.
2. Nicest looking.
3. Smallest hand.
4. “Shiningest” eyes.
5. Curliest hair.
6. Broadest shoulders.
7. Sweetest disposition.
8. Best dancer.
9. Most extravagant.
10. Pearliest teeth.
The girls are given their cards, are asked to say nothing about what is on them but to silently look at the men for two full minutes and then to quietly go and claim their partners. In case of any dispute, the leader settles the argument. After all the men have been claimed each girl must give her reason, based on the description on her card, for choosing the partner she did.
The Hunt.
This may make a real game for a group of guests if the place in which they are being entertained is large enough to afford a great many hiding places. Each guest is given a card and he is to follow directions explicitly, for each card will direct him to another card, and so forth, the goal being one’s partner. All cards have been carefully worked out beforehand, to be sure there are no slip-ups, or duplications.
