Therapist

by

Directions: This game is played in a group. First someone volunteers to be the “therapist.” Everyone else is the “patient”.  The therapist leaves the room while those remaining behind decide what kind of patient they are—what their disorder is. For example, the patient could have a phobia of heights, or amnesia, etc. When the group decides what malady it has, the therapist returns. He tries to guess what’s ailing the patient by querying each player with questions.

Suzanne’s note: This is a fun party game for teens and adults.

Cooperative Games for Thanksgiving

by

The big day is almost here. How about adding some free cooperative games from CooperativeGames.com to your Thanksgiving holiday? These are a few great games to get the generations playing together, making a merry good time. Also, bring out some cooperative board games (shop at CoopertiveGames.com for a wide selection) to keep guests happy while you finish up in the kitchen. Or, play the following Thanksgiving-themed cooperative games that require no materials at all….

1. Basket of Plenty Players sit around the dinner table. Pass around a small basket (or bowl) full of dried flowers, fruits, or favorite things—a cornucopia of your own making. The group recites this poem: Basket of plenty, around you go- Where you stop, nobody knows. But when you do, one of us will say What he is thankful for this day.

2. Gobble-Happy A player leaves the room while those left behind hide small treats or funny objects. When the player returns, the group guides him or her to the treat by saying “gobble, gobble” louder and louder as the player gets closet to the prize. Gobble very softly or not at all when the player is “cold” and raise the gobbling to a happy cacophony as the player nears the sought-after object.

3. Thanksgiving Joke-a-Thon Put two strips of paper under each dinner plate. One strip has a joke, and the other has a punch line to a different joke. On each player’s turn, she reads her joke. The player who thinks he has the punch line reads it. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what the correct punch line is, but mismatched jokes and punch lines are part of the fun! Here are some corny Thanksgiving jokes and punch lines you can use.
