Ten very merry Christmas Games

From Tots and Teens to Oldies
Christmas Fun for Family and Friends of All Ages
by Ruth Orme & Paula Page
Ruth first encountered these games in the 60s when she spent Christmas with her husband’s family in Derby and Great Uncle Wilf took charge of ‘serious fun gaming’ with great gusto. Traditionally played year after year some family members and friends never ever remember ‘The Trick of The Game’!
Paula picked up her take on these games as a student, when you had to make a pint last an evening and entertainment didn’t involve a mobile phone. It would only take a momentary lull in the conversation for Paula to start ‘I can sail the ship because…‘
The decision to write down the games came about when Ruth and Paula worked together in music video production in the 80s.
Now three decades on here’s the result.
