Fellowship + fun party games

I hope everyone had and is still having a wonderful Christmas. We have had less pouring rain these couple of days starting from Christmas eve, which is quite different from the year before.

The fellowship began on the eve of Christmas eve at a dinner party hosted by my sis. While the main dishes were catered from her friend, I contributed an Asian-Mediterranean salad infused with fried pineapple (fried with garlic, onions, a bit of chilli) mixed with regular salad greens, then bathed in ev olive oil, apple cider and turmeric.

On the 24th, we spent time with my family. As I was responsible for the games segment, I did a little research a few days earlier to find fun group games where both the young and the young-at-heart could play together.

So my findings were: newspapers, scotchtape, string, cardboard, clothes pegs, a ping ping ball, paper, pen, and…that’s it! Not surprising huh?

• Newspapers + scotchtape
  Perfect fabric for an evening dress competition.

• String + cardboard
  The string is threaded through a hole cut in the middle of a small piece of cardboard. The ends of the string are held up by 2 persons.

  From a starting point, each team member has to blow with just one breath to move the card along the string. The team that moves it nearest to the finished mark wins!

  One big breath won’t work!

• Pegs + ping pong ball
  Each team player has to place an item between the knees and walk towards the end to deposit into a container. The team that collects the most wins. The ping pong ball proved to be the toughest and it was used for the tiebreaker.

• Paper + pen
  Pictionary!

We also played charades at the end. Winners of each game do walk away with prizes, which are all practical household stuff.

As always, everyone was a good sport and that itself was good fellowship.
