GAMES FOR EVERYBODY

by

MAY C. HOFMANN




FOREWORD


Every one is fond of having a good time when invited out to a party or
social.  Sometimes a stupid evening has been spent because either the
guests were not congenial or the hostess had not planned good
games. The purpose of this book is to furnish just what is needed 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 directions given, and a good time
will be the result. Some of the games for "Adults" can be played by
the younger ones, and _vice versa_. Other games, by being changed a
little by the hostess, can be made to suit the occasion.

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