OT - Quilt Guild Games
I have a set of those dice! What a great idea. My family didn't think
playing with pennies or nickels was much fun. I may play this with my small group at our Christmas luncheon. IF I can remember to plan it.

Keagy" wrote: Hello, I am the program chair person for all of our meetings and would like to come up with a new game to play at our Christmas meeting. We've have done the Quilto game and many said it was boring.................so, I thought I would tape the minds of many and see if any of you have suggestions? Thanking you in advance, Diane S. Keagy Amelia Island Quilters We had Linda Ballard come to our guild. She asked everyone to bring 10 - 6" squares of fabric. She then gave each table dice that had L, R and C on them. You rolled the dice and for every L you passed one of your squares Left for every R you passed a square to the person on your Right and for every C you put a square in the center of the table. I think each table had 3 or 4 dice. It went quickly and pretty soon only one person had any squares left. The person left with a square got all the squares in their pile and in the center of the table. Then, Linda gave everyone a pattern made with 6" squares. I found the dice at the local game shop at the mall. They came in a tube with some poker chips. When I bought them the store clerk said that lots of ladies had been buying that game lately :-) It was fun and the game moved fast even with 7 or 8 at a table. Also, one year we did a scavenger hunt. That was really fun. Each month I read a list of 5 things they needed to find at their home to bring to the meeting. I told them if they missed a meeting they missed out because no one would want to help the competition. (also, the board had agreed to omit the list from the meeting minutes but just say that the next 5 items had been given) I had things on the list like: Bring your oldest guild roster Bring a ticket stub from any guild raffle quilt Bring a quilt book by someone who has spoken at guild meeting Bring a wooden spool Bring a thimble Bring a guild newsletter Bring the ugliest fabric from your stash Bring the oldest unfinished quilting project you have and so on. A team was whoever ended up at the same table together. Some things like the ugliest fabric won individual prizes. I had given each table a score sheet for them to check off the items the table had brought. The winning table got a prize for each person. The ladies really enjoyed it. I think the oldest unfinished project was from the 1970's so that got a good laugh too. marcella |
