PASS THE TRAY
Original author unknown
Place about 12 items on
a tray that are related to PL and have someone pass the tray around (it
can't be you).
Have everyone number a piece of paper from 1 to 12,
then introduce the person who will walk around with the tray, then have them
walk around to each guest - letting them see the tray for about 10 seconds.
Next ask that person to take the tray into the other room (where she/he will
stay - you'll tell them this ahead of time)
Now start asking the 12 questions - only the
questions have nothing to do with what was on the tray. I ask things like:
1. What color was the person's hair who passed the tray?
2. What kind of shoes did she/he have?
3. Was his/her hair curly or straight?
4. What color were her/his eyes?
5. Did the person smile as she/he walked around the room?
6. What was the person's name?
7. Did she/he say anything while she/he was in here passing the tray?
8. What color was her/his blouse/dress/shirt?
9. Was she/he wearing glasses?
10.Was she/he wearing a wedding ring?
11.Was she/he tall or short?
12.Was she/he wearing earrings?
You can make up your own questions. I usually have someone with me at my shows
so I use that person to pass the tray. But if you don't bring anyone with you,
pick a guest as they are arriving and take them into the other room to tell them
ahead of time what you are doing and what they are to do. Offer them a votive
for helping you out.
It's really a lot of fun! I've played it twice now and each time the guests had
a lot of fun with it!
Person with the most correct answers wins!
