Cool Games for Girls

One of the players has two hats, one places on her own head and the other hands to one of the company. The person who has received the hat must then make every action contrary to the action of the person who handed her the hat. For instance, if No. i sits down, No. 2 must stand up. If No. i takes her hat off, No. 2 must put it on. If No. 2 fails she must pay a forfeit. The time of trial is limited to three minutes, or less if the players wish, after that No. i is bound to take the hat and be tried in his turn.

This is not a game of skill, but merely a guessing game. Each player in turn holds the ” eggs.” She may have one or half a dozen marbles if she can hold them, and the opponents guess in turn how many ” eggs” he holds.

Those who have guessed correctly can claim the number of marbles from the egg holder; those who guess incorrectly must pay the difference in the numbers. For instance, if any¬one says ” two,” and the holder has ” three,” she must pay the holder one.
