Family Fun and Playing Games
This Christmas one of the most fun things we did happened on Christmas night. Rachel, my daughter, insisted we play a game. I watch a lot of basketball games but I’ve never enjoyed playing board games. Excuse the pun, but I find them boring. So when Rachel said, “We are ALL going to play a game,” I wasn’t very enthusiastic, but it turned out to be a lot of fun.
All you have to have to play this game (I have no idea what it’s called) is a pair of dice, a pair of gloves (the fat ones work best) and several boxes and masking tape. You put the prize (we used cash) inside a small box and wrapped it with lots of thick, powerful tape. Then you wrap that box inside another and repeat the process as often as you want. On the outside its wrapped like a Christmas gift (or just gift wrap). One person rolls the dice and if you roll doubles you get to wear the gloves and open the gift, but you only get to work on it until the next person rolls doubles. Then they get the gloves and they get to try to open it. If you roll double sixes you get to take the gloves OFF and give it a go. Needless to say everyone rolls the dice really quickly to try and keep someone else from getting the prize.
Thomas, my nephew, was the eventual winner. If you like lots of screaming, yelling and good, clean fun it’s a wonderful game.
If you don’t understand the rules or have any questions, just write me here at NanaHood and I’ll do my best to answer them.
For those of you who read my post about hamsters if you’ll notice in the first picture behind my husband’s head is a hamster cage with four hamsters. They were NOT invited to play the game.
We play this game in my family too!! We call it “Dress Up Dice” It is so similar and really fun to play outside (good for family reunions, etc…) We used dress up clothes, large pair of shorts, hat, plastic lei, and one glove…it’s funny because you just get the stuff on sometimes and go have to take it all off so the other person can have their turn!! Great, cheap family fun!!
Good question. The next person rolls the dice, and if they do NOT get doubles then they pass it on to the next person. If they don’t get doubles then they pass to the next person. And it just keeps going until someone does get doubles.
It would be a fun New Year’s Eve game!
That sounds like fun! While you are trying to open it, is the next person just rolling the dice over and over until they get doubles? And is that masking tape or duct tape? This would be a great game for a New Year’s Eve party!
