HOUSE-PARTY AND COUNTRY-CLUB GAMES

Reading edition

The list of games offered under this heading is made with the realization that the guests for such conditions may include very young people and adults. No attempt is made to select appropriate games for either, the choice being left for the circumstances of any given occasion. While many of the games are for indoors, most of them may be played out of doors, and a few good chasing games for young people are included. An especial effort has been made to secure for this list games that utilize natural material, as leaves, grasses, trees, stones, etc., and some snow games are given for winter days. The so-called "quiet" games are not necessarily noiseless, but are distinguished from active games by the players not moving around.
