Two girls face each other with hands behind them. Together they say, Jan-Ken-Pon. On Pon both bring their hands forward to represent stone, paper, or scissors. A clenched fist is stone, an open hand is paper, and scissors are made by holding out a hand with index and middle finger extended.
Stone beats scissors because it blunts them; scissors beats paper because they can cut it; and paper beats the stone because it can wrap it.
This is a guessing game. Any number can play.
One player, who is chosen by drawing straws leaves the room while others think of some activity, such as dancing, swimming, cooking, etc... The activity they choose is called Coffepot. When the absent player is called back he tries to guess what coffeepotting is by asking each player a question, such as "Do you coffeepot in the dark? " or "Can rabbits coffeepot?" until she guesses what coffepot means.
All questions must be answered truthfully with yes or no. When the questioner thinks she has guessed what coffepot is she may ask if her guess is correct. If it is the player who answered the last question goes out of the room and a new activity is chosen as coffeepot.
This game works best with eight or more players.
One player is chosen to be It. All the players except the one who is It sit in a circle on the floor. It sits in the middle of the circle.
The players in the circle have a button which they keep passing from hand to hand. They keep their hands in constant motion so that is looks as if they all are passing the button at the same time. The player in the center tries to guess who has the button.
When she guesses correctly the girl with the button trades places with her and takes her turn guessing who has the button.
This game requires at least six players. The more the merrier!
The players all sit in a large circle. The player chosen to be first makes up a sentence composed of three parts. The sentence should say where someone is, with whom, and what the two of them are doing. For example,"I saw Molly Jones on Green Mountain with little Tommy picking dandelions." The person who thought of the sentence whispers it to the girl next to her and so on around the circle.
The last person repeats out loud what she has heard. It is usually very funny to hear the way the sentence has changed it's original meaning after so many have passed it on.
