17th Century Riddle:
I am called by the name of man, yet am as little as the mouse,
when winter comes, I love to be, with my red gorget near the house.
(answer further down)
NOTE: A gorget is a piece of armor protecting the throat, or an
ornamental collar — such as the scarflike part of a wimple covering
(head covering worn by some nuns) the neck and shoulders.
Grateful Game
This game plays rather like an old game of musical chairs only
instead of moving until music stops, people must simply leave their
chair for another. Don’t let it get rowdy.
Put chairs in a circle with one less chair than there are players.
One person says something like, “I’m grateful for people with blue
eyes”. Everyone with blue eyes stands up and changes places. While
everyone’s scurrying for a chair the leader takes one away. The
person left standing is out and the last person to sit down goes
next…”I’m grateful for everyone who’s wearing tennis shoes”.
Repeat until you are down to one person.
Another option is that the person who is “out” gets to call the next
thing for which he or she is grateful.
