From: Mr Happy The party season쳌fs gathering full swingability & although most쳌fve the gatherings I go to are music & song parties, the Xmas party form often has other guests who seem excluded from the activities. In order to remedy this deficit, I쳌fd welcome some ideas on other types of inclusive activities, hopefully party games but with a folky/music theme |

Don't take my word for it -- see "The Mistletoe Bough". We have a set of large cards with pictures of the articles for "The Twelve Days of Christmas". When we perform at Christmas functions we hand them out to groups of people. Then I run around and point to each group as their turn comes and they sing (and sometimes also act) their bit. We all sing the partrige in the pear tree line. Cheers, Joy |

From: Liz the Squeak There's a great book which unfortunately I can't get at at the moment to tell you the correct name, but it's by Frank and Jamie Muir and it goes through the entire Christmas period from Hallowe'en to Candlemas. In it there are descriptions of old games played up and down the centuries - how much more folky can that be? It might be called 'A Treasury of Christmas', but I know it's been out of print for a while.. if you can get hold of a copy, then do so, because it's brilliant. LTS |
