At the table

A Picture Card shows a drawing, the words “Sneak a cookie” and, underneath, how to act it: “Peek left, peek right: shh!” The host carries the card over, and the acting happens from the armchair.

Why it works

The guest who planned only to watch is the reason the Picture Cards exist. Each one prints the acting under the drawing, and every Picture Card and every Easy Action works sitting down. The titles deck has no licensed characters: each carol, poem and story title was first published before 1929. Hymn and carol cards are marked, so an office can skip them.

Made for: Family Christmas, classrooms, church groups, office parties and senior centers.
