Rhyming fun for everyone. Here’s a Mardi Gras game to consider. This is a good one for children of all ages. The first thing that is done when playing the Rhyme Anytime Mardi Gras game is to divide the children into two equal groups, one-half will leave the room; the remaining players should then select a word, which will have to be guessed by those outside the door. When the word has been chosen—say, for instance, the word is "will"—the party outside the room are told that the word they are to guess rhymes with "till." A consultation then takes place, and they may think that the word is "ill." The children then enter and begin to act the word "ill," but without speaking a word. The audience, recognizing that the word is incorrect will immediately hiss, and the actors then go out and think of another word. Thus the game goes on until the right word is hit upon, then the children in the room, will clap their hands. The audience then change places with the actors. Make sure that you spend some time looking for words that can actually be acted out. Also, for younger children, help them to pick a good word. Everyone will enjoy this game because of its ability to make everyone laugh. Use Mardi Gras themed words for older children like "hat". Party favors with the Mardi Gras theme can be given out at the end of the party.
