It's called Look Around..

You begin by handing a wrapped gift to the hostess. Then read the following poem. They get a kick out of this one!

You thought all the gifts were meant for you
But i have other items too;
So look around and give it to the one with eyes of brown.

You think you are the lucky one
But let us all share in the fun;
Look around with eyes discreet
& give it to the one with the smallest feet!

Your feet are tiny and very small
Now hand to one that is very tall.

Please take your time and don't be harried
Give it to the one who is longest married.

You must be proud of your married life;
Now pass it on to the newest wife!

Of the parcel you are bereft;
now pass it to the one on your left.

The largest earring i'm looking for now;
If you're wearing them, please step up with a bow.

Now to the person with buttons and kind;
Big or small
The most you can find gets the gift this time!

Now don't get cross and please don't fight;
please pass it to the lady 3rd on your right.

We should stop now, don't you agree;
The gift is yours to open and see!
 
What is the gift and what (please don't be offended) is the purpose?WHAT is your favorite color? hehe
 
I would never be able to remember that poem!
 
I would print it out and read it just like I do with Queen of Shoppers.
 
I've played that game at several of my shows, and everyone always enjoys it. It's a good ice breaker and gets everyone laughing and talking. I just wrap up or put in a gift bag, a $3 or $4 item, and it's worked well.
 
I have done this as well. I really like to incorporate a game about the products but it is something fun to start out with to loosen up a crowd. Guests have enjoyed it.
 
Does anyone know of any other games to be played at shows?

It may be a good and different way to introduce people... if you can incorporate something into it...
Maybe if they get the gift, they introduce themselves and anyone left at the end does so then or something
