BROOM DANCE PARTY GAME
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG TEENAGER, WE USED TO PLAY A GAME
WITH A BROOM AT ALL OF THE PARTIES. WHEN THE MUSIC
STARTED, THE COUPLES WOULD START DANCING. ONE PERSON
WOULD DANCE WITH A BROOM AND PASS IT AROUND TO THE
OTHER PEOPLE DANCING. WHEN THE MUSIC STOPPED, THE
PERSON CAUGHT WITH THE BROOM IS "OUT." THE GAME
CONTINUES UNTIL THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON LEFT.
