SONG
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME,
TAKE ME OUT TO THE PARK,
BUY ME SOME PEANUTS AND CRACKERJACKS,
I DON'T CARE IF I EVER COME BACK.
O, I'LL ROOT-TOOT-TOOT FOR THE HOME TEAM,
AND IF THEY DON'T WIN IT'S A SHAME.
IT'S A ONE, TWO, THREE STRIKES, YOU'RE OUT,
AT THE OLD BALL GAME.

HANGMAN SPELLING GAME
ONE PERSON THINKS OF A WORD AND PUTS DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER THE
NUMBER OF BLANK SPACES THAT THERE ARE LETTERS IN THE WORD. THE OTHE
PERSON MUST NOW GUESS THE LETTERS UNTIL HE HAS SPELLED OUT THE WORD
OR HAS BEEN HANGED. LET'S SAY I HAVE DECIDED ON THE WORD AND YOU AR
GUESSING IT. I DRAW THE BLANK SPACES AND A SIMPLE GALLOWS WITH ROPE
YOU NOW GUESS A LETTER. IF THAT LETTER IS IN THE WORD I FILL IN THE
APPROPRIATE BLANK SPACE. IF THE LETTER APPEARS MORE THAN ONCE I MUS
FILL IN EACH APPEARANCE. IF THE LETTER IS NOT IN THE WORD I WRITE I
DOWN AND DRAW A CIRCLE FOR YOUR HEAD CONNECTED TO THE GALLOW ROPE.
AFTER YOUR NEXT WRONG LETTERS I DRAW LINES FOR YOUR TRUNK, BOTH ARMS
AND BOTH LEGS. IF YOU ARE A REALLY BAD GUESSER AND I WANT TO RUB IT
IN I MIGHT ADD EYES, FEET, ETC. UNTIL YOU GET THE WORD. ONE STRATEG
OF THE GUESSER IS TO GUESS VOWELS AND MOST COMMON LETTERS FIRST.
Submitter comment:
EVERYBODY I KNOW HAS PLAYED HANGMAN. THIS IS A GOOD GAME TO PLAY IN
THE BACK OF A BORING CLASS.

TRUTH OR DARE
A GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE NECESSARY FOR THIS GAME.
ONE PERSON TAKES A PENNY AND A DIME AND PLACES THE
PENNY IN ONE HAND AND A DIME IN THE OTHER. THE
PENNY IS CALLED TRUTH AND THE DIME IS DARE.
ONE PERSON COMES UP AND CHOOSES A HAND. THE
HAND IS CLOSED OVER THE COIN SO THE CHOOSER DOESN'T
KNOW WHICH HAND CONTAINS WHICH COIN. (CLOSED IN A
FIST). IF THE PLAYER CHOOSES THE HAND WITH THE
DIME, THE GROUP DARES HIM TO DO SOME STRANGE STUNT
LIKE CLIMBING A TELEPHONE POLE OR SINGING HAPPY
BIRTHDAY TO A BUS DRIVER. IF THE PERSON CHOOSES
THE HAND WITH THE PENNY, HE MUST TELL THE TRUTH
OR HE GETS MAULED BY THE GROUP PLAYING THE GAME.
THE PERSON USUALLY GETS ASKED A PERSONAL QUESTION
AND MUST ANSWER TRUTHFULLY.
Submitter comment:
INFORMANT SAYS THERE IS USUALLY A PERSON IN THE
GROUP WHO KNOWS THE TRUTHFUL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
ASKED AND NOBODY GETS MAULED BY OTHER PLAYERS.
