I PAULINE’S QameA for <Nll GATES Atabe Chriótmaó PAULINE and BOB BONITZ Pamilij Partly Christmas is the time for family jet-togethers. One of the best ways ■ o make these gatherings memora ble for all concerned is to engage in games which the whole group can play. A nice one to start off with would be a Sugar Plum Hunt. Have one member of the family hide Christ mas candies ahead of time in vari ous nooks and corners around the house. At a given signal everyone starts hunting and gathering the pieces. The one who gathers the greatest number would be given a prize. The Christmas Puzzle is another good one to get things going. Look through some magazines, which are filled with pictures of Santa Claus at this time of year. Cut out enough of these to go around, paste them on stiff cardboard, and cut them into pieces, Then put each group of pieces in a separate paper bag. At the signal, everyone opens a ba§ and starts putting the puzzle to gether. The Xmas Scramble Contest is good for a group with older children in it. This is simply a contest to see who can unscramble a group of words the fastest.
