Purse & Pockets Plus

"2 points to the first team who brings me a.....gum wrapper!" Watch the mayhem as everyone searches their pockets, purses, backpacks, and surroundings for the item needed. It's up to the leader to determine whether a similar item is close enough ("here's a wrapper from chewy candy!"). This party game is sort of like a scavenger hunt, but it all takes place in a single location rather than running all around the neighborhood bothering outsiders. There are categories of items to please just about everyone: Purse (mostly things found in ladies' purses, best for an all female group like at a shower) Pockets (items typically found in anyone's pockets, good for most groups) House & Garden (if you're brave enough to have people rummaging through things in your house) Office (good for an office party or as an ice-breaker at a meeting) Something that...(items that fit a description, such as "something that has a team logo", nice to mix this in with other categories) Kids (can play with an all children group or kids can play with adults, as long as the leader is an adult) Wild & Crazy (some items may be a bit wild for the standard group, but great for a bachelor or bachelorette party) 2 to 3 teams race to bring the required items, and everyone seems to enjoy it whether their team actually wins or not.
