a white auction is really fun....... everyone brings a wrapped gift and puts it in the middle, then everyone gets a number.... the person with number 1 picks and opens a gift... number 2 picks and opens and they decide if they like the gift they picked or perhaps want the one that number 1 picked... if they like number 1's gift better, they get to switch...... number 3 goes and so on and so forth with everyone either keeping the gift they picked or one that is open already and they want more... (the person with the better gift doesn't have a choice but to trade)..... after the last person goes, the person number 1 gets to choose from ALL the gifts........... this game is always a big hit!!!

mbasya, that game sounds absolutely awful.
but there r so many variations on that game that can tun out nice. like buying a gift to match someones initials or...
how bout just a traditional game of cards. or dreidle.
something tells me the 1 month old and the 100 yr old will be sitttiing out whatever game is being played. so keep the game more appropriate for the adults and keep the children bussy with a craft.
