Wrap a gift, and set it in view of all guests.
Tell your guests that as you read the verses, if it describes them, they are to be the first to grab the gift. There may be 1 guest, or many, who go for the gift. Whoever grabs it first, returns to their seat.
They put the gift on the table in front of them if they are seated at a table, or in their lap if they are not. Then you continue on to the next verse. The person who loses the gift, still stays in the game with the next verse.
GAME VERSES:
The news is out, quick send a cable.
The gift starts with the lady at the table.
If someone wears clothing with the color of blue, be ready because she will take the gift from you.
Now everyone knows that blue has been worn.
You can grab the gift if a girl was your first born.
You can take the gift after this next verse, if you are the gal who came carrying a shoulder type purse.
I'll give you a chance and want to be fair.
Hurry for the gift if you have brown colored hair.
We hope everyone playing will be a good sport. You can have the gift if your hair is short.
We're getting tricky, here's a real humdinger!Take the gift if you have more than one ring on your finger.
You're all doing great! What a success!
The gift can be yours if you're not wearing a dress.
You won't hold it long. The gift is not for you. The gift now goes to the lady with not one child but two.
Don't despair cause here's the next clue.
The gift is yours if you're wearing an open toe shoe.
With each pass of the gift we are having a ball. The gift is now going to you, if you're over 60 inches tall.
We hope you're all having fun. We tried to include everyone. It's your chance to have it, if you,re the mother of a son.
From one lady to the next, you have the gift and then it's gone.
The gift is yours if you have earrings on.
There won't be time to practice.
There won't be time to rehearse.
You are the lucky lady, if you brought a colorful purse.
Everyone is watching as the gift swiftly passes. This is your turn to get it, if you are wearing glasses.
We're ending this game, and the gift passing, like hopscotch. You could be the winner if you're wearing a wristwatch.
This game is over and now we are done. If you're holding the gift, guess what?
You have won.
