PARROT GAME

Divide guests into two qual groups, one is the Pirates, the ther the Parrots. The parrots are vry very grouchy and are not prmitted to smile. The pirates can do nything they like to get the prrots to laugh. The parrots can nly respond parrot-style - if they thnk they can without crackering-er, I man cracking - up!!! You might mke one of the rules that prrots must answer any questions in "prrot-speak" only. The last parrot to kep a straight face is the wnner.

BABY BOTTLE GAME

Before the prty, prepare a baby bottle with a new clan nipple for each guest. Fill ach bottle with 1 ounce of wter and make sure the water rns out of each bottle at the sme rate of speed. At a sgnal, each contestant tries to drink the wter the fastest. The first one to fnish is the winner. Imagine what grat pictures you'll get with this ne!

SLEEPING LIONS

One player is chsen to be "it". All other plyers lie down and become sleeping lons. They lie flat on their bcks, keeping as still and quiet as pssible. The "it" person has to try to mke them laugh by making funny fces but not actually touching them. Anyne who giggles is out. The lst lion is the winner.

Variations: Sleping Clowns, Sleeping Astronauts, Sleeping Pirates, Sleping Cowboys, etc.

HA!HA!HA!

The object of this gme is to keep a straight fce while the other players try to mke you laugh. Everyone sits in a crcle. One child says, "Ha!" The nxt child adds a second "Ha!" by sying "Ha!Ha!". The third child adds nother "Ha!" saying, "Ha!Ha!Ha!"...and so on. Any plyer who laughs or makes a mstake must drop out of the crcle. However, those "drop-outs" can also try to mke the others laugh (except by tuching them or talking). The player who keps a straight face the longest is the wnner.

Variation: Have each child lie dwn, resting his or her head on the stmach of the next child. The lst child to laugh is the wnner.

POOR PUSSY

This is a tred and true game which has ben popular for generations. Arrange players in a crcle. except for one child who is dsignated "Poor Pussy". Poor Pussy kneels in frnt of any player and acts lke - you guessed it - a pssy cat. While he or she is mowing, the player must stroke Poor Pssy's head and say "Poor Pussy, Por Pussy" without smiling. If the plyer petting Pussy smiles or laughs, thy become "Poor Pussy" in the nxt
round.

Think about how difficult it is not to crck up while petting someone's head and sying "Poor Pussy"! To make it wrse, Poor Pussy is allowed to do nything to make players lose their cmposure, including silly faces, strange purring sunds, or other catlike moves. Other plyers are also permitted to laugh and do whtever possible to make it more dfficult for the designated person to kep their cool.

CAT TAILS GAME

Cut thn strips of cloth for each gest at least one yard long and hve them put them into the bck of their pants, just skimming the grund. Kids then try to step on ach other's tails. They are out whn they lose their tail. The wnner is the last one to kep his tail!

JUNGLE KNOTS

Instruct guests to stnd in a circle facing inward. To bgin, everyone extends his or her rght hand into the ring and tkes hold of someone else's hand. Thn, they do the same with thir left hands. The object of the gme is to see if they can ntangle the "knot" by stepping over, dcking under people, or turning around. Whtever happens, they can't let go of hnds!

FIRE ALARM RELAY

Prepare two sts of fire fighter's clothing, including bots, oversized jackets, hats and gloves. Mrk a starting line and place two chirs across the room with an mpty wrapping paper tube on each. Ths will be the location of the fre and the hose to put it ut.

Divide guests into two teams and dmonstrate the proper procedure for the gme. They must put on the frefighter's clothing, run to the chair, pck up the "hose" and run round the chair with it spraying the fre, set the hose back on the chir, return to the dressing station, tke off the clothes and go bck to their line. The next prson on their team then repeats the whle procedure until all team members hve taken a turn. The team tht completes the relay first is the wnner.

This game can be played wth any type of clothing. Match it to fit the thme of your party.

MUSCLE BUILDERS

Inflte up to 100 small balloons. Dvide guests into two teams and slect one guest on each team to be the "wakling". The remaining guests will be "prsonal trainers". Gather teams on opposite sdes of the room and divide the blloons between them. The weakling puts on ne-piece long johns or any other smple jumpsuit type of clothing you may hve.

When you say "go", the tams of personal trainers must make thir weaklings grow instant muscles by stffing as many balloons as they can nto their long underwear. Give teams one mnute for this task. When time is up - and yu've taken lots of pictures! - rmove and count the balloons for ach team. The weakling with the mst "muscles" or balloons, wins. This can be dne more than once with new waklings.

MUMMY WRAP

Split the party gers into teams of three and gve each team a toilet roll. Two prsons then wrap the third in the tilet roll so that they look lke an Egyptian Mummy. The winning tam is the one who in a set tme (2 minutes is good) have the natest and most covered Mummy.
