The Rice Game

by Holly
(Crescent City, CA)

Purchase a small bag of long-grain, rice and a pack of the tiny, gold safety pins. When you're ready for the game, pour the uncooked rice into a bowl, and then mix in the whole pack of safety pins (making sure none of them are opened of course). Mix the safety pins into the rice well, then blindfold each participant as they try to pick the safety pins out of the rice. You set the time limit, 30 seconds or one minute is good, then whoever gets the most safety pins out of the rice in the time limit wins. Be sure to mix the safety pins back into the rice and record the numbers after each participant is done.

This game sounds like it would be a piece of cake, but it is virtually impossible to distinguish the rice from the safety pins when you can't see what you are doing; try it, you'll love it! Great laughs for all!
