Three Minute Games
For Your Parties
Place in conspicuous places in the room
twelve objects that suggest names of per
sons, titles of books, or names of places.
A picture of a church on a hill may sug
gest the name “Churchill”; a lump of
coal, the book “If Winter Comes”; a draw
ing of an island with a man standing alone,
“The Isle of Man”; a glass near a sign
post showing “Go” may suggest “Glas
gow”; the picture of a girl running with
a girl’s name might be construed to mean
“Mary” or “Jane” Rush; a shoe in one
spot and a horn in another may suggest
shoe-horn. Draw a picture of two barns
to suggest as name; a cat on a log for
“catalog.” Such words as Rocky Mount,
cargo, Durham, Wilson, Georgetown, and
many others may be easily used for the
game, by any hostess who uses a few pic
tures, a few objects and a little imagina
tion. Offer a prize to the person who fin
ishes the game first.
Puzzles are also interesting. Try these:
1. If a Negro maid accidentally tripped
over a Persian rug and dropped a large
platter of turkey at a dinner party what
five countries would be represented?
2. In a certain word you may take two
letters from five and leave one. What is
the word?
3. Twenty-six odd fellows lived to
gether two thousand years ago and all of
these brothers, notwithstanding their age
are living together to this day. No one
will dispute the fact that they are all very
clever; they live together—great and
small, and have got one eye among them
all. Who are they?
Make a spelling list of ten words. Dis
tribute papers. Require the persons spell
ing:
1. To use the letter “f” in the place
of “s”.
2. “x” instead of “g” in Dwight Eisen
hower
3. “m” instead of “n” in England
4. “f” instead of “o” in Booker Wash
ington
5. “p” instead of “s” in Christmas
6. “f” instead of “s” in Easter
7. “x” instead of “e” in Federation
8. ”f” instead of “s” in Convention
9. “x” instead of “g” in Negro
10. “m” for “n”; “f” for “o” in Lincoln.
INDUSTRY AN ASSET
Trifling actions affect a man’s credit.
The sound of your hammer at five in the
morning or nine at night heard by a cred
itor makes him easy six months longer.—
Benjamin Franklin.
The Scriptures teach us the best way
of living, the noblest way of suffering,
and the most comfortable way of dying.—
Flavel.
