Christmas-swap
Ground rules:
1 minimum cost: 50sek (obs! if handmade, finished product
= ca 50sek)
2 only give a present that you yourself would like to
get!
3 christmas present must be wrapped
How it is done:
all
wrapped presents is taken care of at the troll and put in a bag. When
everyone has left their present they all get to pick a number from a bowl
(there are the same amount of numbers as there are presents..) to see
who gets to pick when.
| nr1 picks a christmas present (not his/her own) opens and shows it | |
| nr2 picks a christmas present (not his/her own) opens and shows it | |
| nr2 now gets to pick if he/she wants to keep that present or swap with nr1 | |
| nr3 picks a christmas present (not his/her own) opens and shows it | |
| nr3 now gets to pick if he/she wants to keep that present or swap with nr1 or nr2 | |
| and so on... | |
| in the end nr1 gets to pick if he/she want to keep his/hers christmas present or trade with any of the others | |
Masqe-erade
Ground rules:
there are none.. all types of masks are accetable! (we would
prefer if you stayed away from the plastic I-want-to-look-like-a-parody-of-the-President
type mask)
Make one yourself from scratch, by one and redo it or by one ready made.
How
it is done:
When you come to the troll and show your mask you get a number to wear
on your belt or somewhere else on your outfit where it's in plain view.
You alse get a score-card and a pencil so that you can score all the
other masks (1-5 points).
After a few hours Lady Aelfwynne, in her grcious self.., swiftly goes
around collecting all the score cards and sums then up. After som gossip
about who will win she then pronounces the winner!
Easy enough?
