How do you play in cahoots?
Some one leaves the room, and everyone picks an object. Then they come back in. Before, though, the person "it" and the person who leaves, pick a mutual agreement, like pointi…ng to something red, then the object TRY THIS! A more sophisticated version is for nine magazines (three rows of three) placed on the floor. The "Leader" person, and the one in "Cahoots" understand that the pointer --usually a yard stick-- will point to the THE PLACE ON THE FIRST MAGAZINES ACCORDING TO THE PLACEMENT AND ROW THAT IS CHOSEN BY THOSE IN ATTENDANCE. This is done very causally. The "one in cahoots" leaves the room while "The leader" asks the players to choose a magazine in a particular row. Then the "one in cahoots" is invited back into the room. The "Leader" points to any magazine (the placement of the pointer is crucial) to tell the one in "Cahoots" the placement of the chosen magazine. Then, in a series of mystifying exchanges between the pointer and a variety of magazines, the Leader asks, "It this the one?" Finally, when the correct magazine is chosen, the one in "Cahoots" says, "Yes!" This is followed by asking if anyone else is in "Cahoots" with the Leader." Several will try unsuccessfully, until one or more "catch on" to the trick. This is a very good mixer and lots of fun for about 45 minutes to an hour. (MORE)
