211 Things a bright boy should know..
The Sprout on a sheet.

Of 1001 party games that have been devised over the years, the sprout on a sheet is one of the most enjoyable and exhilarating.
The rules are simple, the props are to hand, and any number above three can play. The game is suitable for children or childish grown ups.

  • Clear a big space and two teams of around four or five to line up opposite each other. Hand out a laundered sheet and instruct everyone to grasp the long edge nearest them. When they all have hold, and the sheet is hanging between the opposing players in a loose U, throw a sprout into the middle.
  • The Aim of the game is for each team to snap the sheet so that the sprout is sent flying over the heads of the opposing team, thus scoring a point. It's a lot more difficult than it sounds, and also more vigorous. Be sure to clear away your Ming pots and take the turners down.
  • In an emergency, or for very muscular players, a champagne cork or ping pong ball may substitute the sprout.
  • A referee is essential - Thats you.
Enjoy
