At the table

A guest needs initials for the square “has strung popcorn” and finds a colleague who has. When the line is read out, the Host List gives you the follow-up to ask: “What else did you string with the popcorn?”

“likes tinsel”. Ask: “How do you hang tinsel: toss or one by one?”

What you get4 PDF files

Color and Ink Saver game files, each in US Letter and A4 (34 pages each)
In each file8 Large Print cards (4 x 4), 8 Classic cards (5 x 5 with a free square), the Host List with a question for all 48 squares, a welcome sign and 3 certificates

Why it works

A signature is not a conversation. So every square has a second question behind it, and when a winner reads the line aloud, each signer tells the story of their square. Guests who would rather not walk play at their own table, or play Hands Up: the host reads the squares, hands go up, no walking and no writing. Anyone may say “not me” or pass.

Made for: Office Christmas parties, family gatherings, church socials and senior living.
