Hunt the Tangarine
- You will need: tangerines and a kitchen timer.
- Each player has a tangerine.
- One player is sent out of the room and the others hide their tangerines.
- Once all the tangerines have been hidden, the player outside is called back into the room and the timer is set for 5 minutes.
- Within this time the player who has been outside has to find as many of the hidden tangerines as possible.
- Those who have hidden the tangerines have to help the ‘seeker’ by calling out Christmassy hints as to whether he or she is ‘cold’ or ‘hot’: “Frosty the Snowman!” when they are nowhere near, for example, or “Lovely hot mince pies!” when they are getting close.
- They should call louder whenever the seeker is getting close to their tangerine and more softly whenever he or she is moving further away from it.
- Each time a tangerine is found everyone shouts “Merry Christmas!”
The player who finds the most tangerines within the 5 minutes is the winner.
