Large cards with numbers down
the sides are given to each player, with a pencil. The card of flags
is then hung where all can see it, and half an hour is allowed for all
to guess the countries to which the flags belong. The answers are
written on the individual cards, and the papers are signed with the
names of the players.
A prize is given to the player who has the greatest number of correct
answers.
ANOTHER GAME OF WORDS
The players, each of whom is supplied with paper and pencil, are divided
equally into two sides, and the leader, having selected a word, suppose
"notwithstanding," each party sets to work to see how many different
words they can make of the same letters. (Thus from the word above
suggested may be made "not, with, stand, standing, gin, ton, to, wig,
wit, his, twit, tan, has, had, an, nod, tow, this, sat, that, sit,
sin, tin, wink, what, who, wish, win, wan, won," and probably a host
of others.) A scrutiny is then taken, all words common to both parties
being struck out. The remainder are then compared, and the victory is
adjudged to the one having the largest number of words.
