10. “Kitchen Sounds” brings out player’s competitive spirits.
This game was popular in the 1800’s and 1900’s. Apparently, people would get very competitive. The party host or hostess goes into the kitchen, while the rest of the guests are in another room that is within earshot of the kitchen. They may need to hang a curtain or a blanket across the doorway to block the player’s view of the kitchen, if necessary.
The host has to start doing a task in the kitchen like chopping vegetables, sweeping the floor, husking corn, etc. The player has to guess what they are doing based on sound alone. The first one to shout out the correct answer gets a point. Whoever can guess correctly the most by the end is the winner.
