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*.
