Games for Everybody

by

May C. Hofmann

Foreword

Every one is fond of having a good time when invitedout to a party or social. Sometimes a stupid eveninghas been spent because either the guests were notcongenial or the hostess had not planned good games.The purpose of this book is to furnish just what isneeded for a pleasant home gathering, church social,or any other indoor occasion.

Very few, if any, of these games require much preparation.Just use what is in the house, follow the directionsgiven, and a good time will be the result. Some ofthe games for "Adults" can be played bythe younger ones, and vice versa. Other games,by being changed a little by the hostess, can be madeto suit the occasion.

Many of the good old games that every one has playedare here, while the newer ones, which may be strangeat first, will prove most enjoyable when every onehas "caught on," as the saying is. M.C.H.
