A "platter party” to collect re. i cords for service clubs would be a wonderful activity for a teen- , age group. Musical games and dancing would be the featured activity of the evening. For those groups planning on giving baskets of food where most needed, a “pantry shelf party would be a gay occasion. Part of th? activity during the evening could be sorting, pack- 4Bg and decorating the baskets. Games played later could end in fines or forfeits to raise money for the perishable foods to be added later. A variation of bingo, elimina tion bingo, would make a fun way to raise money at a giving party. Elimination bingo — Cut suf ficient slips of five different rotors of paper so that there is one slip for each participant. Give each person a bingo card and one of the slips of paper. The game is played in the usual way, except that when a player “bingos" he calls out the color of his paper and all players holding that color are eliminated from the game. The play continues (cards of the remaining players are not cleared as each group is elimi nated) until one of the remaining players gets a bingo and all thus? holding his color are out. This process of elimination continues until only one group is left. Each of the players in the group must pay a fine to the food fund. This game may be repeated several time*. 4 THURSDAY, NOV. 19, 1953
