- This game which I am going to describe is not very common but at the same time it causes fun and amusement. Only two players are necessary. It is an indoor game. Two handkerchiefs, a spoon, and some eatables are required.
The two players are seated on two chairs opposite each other, but a few yards away. One of the blindfolded parties is presented with a spoon on which is put a sweet. Now this child is asked to try and put the contents of the spoon into the other players mouth without ever moving out of their position or ever speaking to each other.
