Electricity

Electricity is a game for 5 or more people. Choose 1 person to be “it.” All the other players can sit or stand in a circle holding hands.  Then the person who is “it” stands in the middle of the circle and shuts his/her eyes. One player then says “I`m turning the lights on.” Then “It” opens his/her eyes. One person starts the current by squeezing the player’s hand next to him.  If the person who is “it” spies someone’s hand being squeezed, the player who just squeezed that player’s hand becomes “it.”  Continue this until you want to stop.  Goodbye!

Mom’s note: If you want to play this game with a big group of people, split up into two teams.  Have the person who is “it” become the judge instead.  Each team makes a straight line holding hands.  The judge holds hands with each team at the end of the line.  When the judge says, “I’m turning the lights on,” both teams start the current down the line.  Whoever gets to the judge first, wins.
