the old party game ‘a couple of ducks, a big fat hen and THIS!’ anyone remember all the words for this?
This was a ‘passing’ game played at Christmas parties in the 50′s. I can only remember afew of the lines: ’3 thick thumping tigers taking tea together’ was one. It went up to 12 I think. The ‘THIS’ was usually something very small. like a pen top, that could be hidden in your hand and passed secretly from person to person. Failure to remember the lines, or to pass ‘THIS’ on resulted in forfeights which were usually hilarious. If you don’t remember this game, your granparents might.
