Fishing Pool

It is called "FishingPool". You just hang a sheet or a tablecloth at waist height (we draped ours ontwo kitchenchairs in a corner). One parent is behind the cloth and another is with thechildren on theother side of the tablecloth. You also need a "fishing pole" (we used a lightbamboo doweland attached a ribbon with a clothes pin tied to the end). Ask the children totake turnsfishing and hand them the rod. When they hang the "rod" over the cloth, theadult behindthe cloth attaches a small gift that they can reel in. The kids really seemed to like the game and it helped take the edge off the gift unwrapping part of the partybecause eachguest received a little gift. Easiest is to have gifts that girls and boys wouldlike--stickers,crayons, small books and a few extra.
