In a world where everything our kids do has turned high-tech, this good old fashioned party game is refreshing change. It’s a super easy game to prepare and can be played with a large or small group.

Game Materials:

• Milk bottle, or wide mouth bottle of any type
• About 5 wood clothespins
• Chair

Before the Party

Wash a bottle, carton, jar or coffee can.
If you are playing with a large group and want to divide the players into teams, you’ll need a bottle, chair and clothespins for each team.

Party Time:

1. Place the milk bottle on the floor behind the chair.
2. Players line up or make a circle around the playing area.
3. The first player kneels on the chair, leaning over the chair back.
4. Each player gets 5-10 clothespins depending on how many kids are playing and how much time you have.
5. The players try to drop the clothespins into the milk bottle.
6. You can play competitively giving a prize to the player who gets the most pegs into the bottle or give each child a small prize after each turn.

Playing with teams?
Each team will have a chair, bottle and pins. The team with highest number of clothespins in the bottle wins the game.
