2018-02-06 07:32:48 PM tknox23508 i like y'all ideas
2018-02-06 07:32:49 PM kristenamrein tashua1 "Left Right Center" is a fun game! I used to play it with assisted living residents. Basically everyone gets 10 pennies. There will be 1 cup and 3 dice. The dice will have a dot, L (left), C (Center), and R (Right) on them. If they get an L, C, or R, they have to pass one penny accordingly. If they get a dot when they roll the dice, they stop. Whoever is the last player with any pennies wins. If you are out, you can get back in if a penny is passed to you. So when you initially roll the dice, you may get an L, an R, and another L. In that case, you pass 2 pennies to the left (because of the 2 L's) and one to the right (because of the R).
2018-02-06 07:32:53 PM natalie1 most likely will being doing a easter brunch
