Description

A splendid action game for young people.

Fourteen perforated sheets are provided and on each are 6 pairs of words which can be separated by tearing along the Perforation which runs down the middle. Each pair consists of related words, e.g., BEE—H1VE, BIRD—NEST, etc.
INSTRUCTIONS TO M.C.
PREPARATION FOR PLAY
Tear each sheet along the perforations so that there are 168 slips in all. The first halves are distinguished from the second halves by the spot in the top right córner of the former.
Distribute the second halves about the house or hall with the printed faces upwards and retain the first halves.
List the players by name or number on a score sheet.
Give each player a “first half” slip.
HOW PLAY PROCEEDS
At the word " GO ” the players set off to find the counterpart of the slips they hold. A player does not know what the word is, but on seeing the words on the “second half” slips he will recognise the one he is looking for by its close connection with the word on the slip he is carrying.
When a player beiieves he has found the correct counterpart he presents the two slips to the M.C.; if correct the M.C. records one point for that player and gives him another slip.
If during the game a player presents an incorrect pair of slips to the M.C. he must resume looking for the correct counterpart and is not given another “first half” slip until he finds it.
OR
If he cannot lócate the counterpart and would prefer to have another “first half” slip, he is entitled to do so but one point is deducted from his score.
THE WINNER is the player who scores the hlghest number of points in an agreed time or when the whole of the slips have been used.
The material in each packet provides for about eight young people. If more are taking part extra perforated sheets should be obtained.
The game can be varied by distributing the first halves and giving the players the second halves.
SOLUTION SHEET
On this are listed the correctly paired words.
N.B.—The pairs of words have been so chosen that there should be little doubt in a player’s mind as to whether he has found the correct counter¬part.
