<\/a><\/p>\nTreasures<\/h2>\n
Gather a few packages that contain treasures: These are things that you should provide such as gift certificates, movie pass, candy bar, DVD, homemade cookies, a roll of dimes etc.<\/p>\n
Encourage everyone to wrap their gift creatively using fancy gift wrap, aluminum foil, newspaper, comics, wallpaper, brown bags, gift bags or whatever they have on hand.<\/p>\n
To play the game everyone should sit in a circle. Pile all of the packages in the center of the circle.<\/p>\n
Before beginning the game stress the need to be fast and accurate. <\/p>\n \u00b7 Have one pair of dice for every five or six players. <\/p>\n \u00b7 Keep passing dice to the left. Players take turns trying to roll a six – not a combination of dots that add to six on both dice but six dots on one die. <\/p>\n \u00b7 When they roll a six they may grab one package from the pile and open it; double sixes let them grab two packages to open. <\/p>\n \u00b7 Dice move around rapidly and before long more than one player is diving for the same package. <\/p>\n \u00b7 Once all the presents are gone from the center, rolling a six allows them to steal packages from neighbors. The robbing is the favorite and funniest part of the game. <\/p>\n \u00b7 The \u201cstealing\u201d part of the game should only last a few minutes. Everyone will want to steal the \u201ctreasures\u201d!<\/p>\n NOTE: The younger children in your family won\u2019t understand why they got a \u201ctrash\u201d present and may be upset. I always have something to trade with them like a dollar store prize or a 2-liter bottle of soda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Trash or Treasures Family Reunion Game Trash or Treasure is a fun game for your whole family, indoors or outdoors and it can be adapted to all family reunion themes.
