Touchy Feely Spoons
What you'll need: 1 blindfold 2 wooden spoons
How to play:
One player is blindfolded. He/She is given the wooden spoons and holds one in each hand. He/She uses the spoons to try and figure out who the people are in the room. No talking allowed. When the blindfolded player guesses someone's identity correctly, he/she is no longer 'it' and the other person takes a turn at being blindfolded. When playing this game with teens, it is important to remind them of private places and how they are off limits - even to the spoons.
The Greatest Story Ever Told

Then let the host read the story to all of the guest - it ends up being really funny!
