He allows a few seconds after each question for the players to write
their answers. After twenty or more guesses have been asked, the
papers are passed to the right hand neighbor for correction.

The leader then measures each article, person, or thing, with a tape
measure, and the guesses on the lists are checked off. The person who
has a correct list deserves something for a reward.




NUT RACE.


Choose two captains from the company, who select sides until all the
guests are on one side or the other.

Place a pile of mixed nuts on the floor and an empty bowl about three
feet from it, at one end of the room and at the other end another pile
and bowl.

The captains and their sides stand by their respective pile of
nuts. When the signal is given each captain takes as many nuts on the
back of his left hand from the pile as he can gather without the aid
of his right hand and carries them to the empty bowl at the opposite
side of the room. The players follow the captain in turn continuing
until the pile is gone and the bowl is full.

The side which succeeds in filling its bowl first is victorious.
