When we have eaten all we’re able,
And with regret must leave the table,
Let’s have some bright and lively jokes
To entertain the grown-up folks.
THANKSGIVING
After the Thanksgiving dinner, it will be a good plan to have some lively games for the whole family. Otherwise it’s more than likely that you’ll get into some mischief, at least, the boys will. So here are some games which you’ll all enjoy:
First of all, suppose you try “It.” This is just as foolish as it sounds, but it makes a great deal of fun for all. Choose some person for “It.” He must leave the room, and when he comes in again, must do his best to make the others laugh. They, on their part, try their best not to, for the first who laughs becomes “It.” So the unfortunate “It” dresses up in some queer style and tries to win a smile from his audience, while they watch him very gravely. It is discouraging, indeed.
Suddenly there will be a titter, a giggle and then a burst of laughter from every one, and whoever starts the laughter must change places with “It.”
