The Cokesbury Game Book Author:Arthur M. Depew Published in 1960, this book is a compilation of creative recreation games. Organized by type, they include active games, quiet games, writing games, outdoor games, games to make and play, mental games, brain twisters, cultural games, musical games and folk songs, games for special holidays and occasions, and leisure time activites.
Most of the games start off "The guests...", so I guess the plan was to throw a party for these games. Some of them seem pretty tame by today's jaded standards.
