What part of the car do you want to be? If you are looking for an oldie but a goodie in terms of games for a Mardi Gras celebration, here’s one to consider. Mardi Gras' Family Car game is almost as old as Mardi Gras itself. The family car is most amusing if you can find someone who is a good story-teller. The players sit in a circle and everyone, except the story teller, takes the name of some part of a car or its equipment. For example, a door, engine, wheels, etc. When all are ready, the story-teller begins a tale about an old car and what happened to it, how it went on a journey, broke down, was fixed, and started off again. Every time any part of the car is mentioned, the player who has taken that car part name must rise from his seat and then sit down again. Whenever the car is mentioned, all of the players, with the exception of the story teller, must rise. Anyone failing to rise is out of the game. This Mardi Gras game will have them laughing especially when they forget their part. Make sure to dress everyone up with a Mardi Gras themed outfit too. The winners should be given fun Mardi Gras prizes and favors.
