Going Shopping
A lively game of “talk and touch.” The company is seated in a circle, and one who understands the game commences by saying to his neighbor at the right:
“I have been shopping.”
“What did you buy?” is the required response.
“A dress,” “a book,” “some flowers,” “a pencil”—whatever the first speaker wishes, provided always that he can, in pronouncing the word, touch the object mentioned. Then the second player addresses his neighbor in similar manner, and so on around the circle until the secret of the game is discovered by all.
Whoever mentions an object without touching it, or names one that has already been given, pays a forfeit.
