Each guest is given a post card and a pencil, and allowed
ten minutes in which to draw some historical scene.
"Stick" people may be drawn.
Here are a few suggestions
to give to your friends in case they find it difficult to think
of a subject at first: King John signing the Charter, Alfred
burning the cakes, Raleigh holding the cloak for Queen
Elizabeth, etc.
When the time is up, each guest must write
the title on the opposite side of the card, and give it in.
The papers are then numbered, and stuck up round the
room.
Everyone is then given another card already numbered, and invited to write down what they consider is
the title of each picture.
After fifteen minutes, the answers
may be read out, and two small prizes given: one to the
guesser of the most, and one to the artist whose title most
people were able to discover.
