When the
Hostess calls her guests, ask her to have each guest bring a potato
with them. This helps her to be in contact with all of her guests to
be certain they are coming. I will often spark a little more
interest, as well. After the guests have arrived, give points for
their potato as follows:
1. White
Potato – 1 Point
2. Red
Potato – 5 Points
3. Sweet
Potato – 10 Points
4. Eyes –
1 per eye
5. If
it’s clean – 5 Points
6. If
it’s dirty – 1 Point
7. Store
bought – 1 Point
8. Grew
themselves – 5 Points
9. Has
sprouts – 10 Points
10.
Largest Potato – 10 Points
11.
Smallest Potato – 5 Points
12.
Forgot – Borrowed one from Hostess –
Minus 5 Points
Who Dunit?
Have guests
answer orally. The person, who answers first, gets a point. The
person with the most points wins.
On (Hostess’
name) pantry shelf there are cans galore,
Each one had a label when it came from the store;
But a prankster thought it was clever and fun,
to remove the labels one by one.
It was a dirty trick, but he did leave a clue,
To tell if it were meat, vegetable, fruit or stew.
So let’s study the clue that is on each can,
And get the labels back on again.
1.
The plural of the 16th letter of the alphabet (Peas)
2. Unit of precious stones; diamonds are measured this way (Carrots)
3. A hardening on your toes (Corn)
4. Pulsations of the heart (Beets)
5. A state of worry (Stew)
6. A predicament (Jam or Pickle)
7. Two kinds of toes (Tomatoes or Potatoes)
8. A sprouting town in Belgium (Brussels Sprouts)
9. A sour, ill-tempered person from the fish family (Crab)
10. The state of boxer’s ears (Cauliflower)
11. Smallest member of a group (Shrimp)
12. Popeye’s girlfriend (Olive Oil)
