The Farmyard
This game, if carried out properly, will cause great amusement.
One of the party announces that he will whisper to each person the name of some animal, which, at a given signal, must be imitated as loudly as possible. Instead, however, of giving the name of an animal to each, he whispers to all the company, with the exception of one, to keep perfectly silent.
To this one he whispers that the animal he is to imitate is the donkey. After a short time, so that all may he in readiness, the signal is given. Instead of all the party making the sounds of various animals, nothing is hard but a loud bray from the one unfortunate member of the company.

I kept laughing imagining the condition of the poor person s/he will be finding her/himself in as s/he brays loud alone.
An innovative one!
But you can’t fool the same person twice. Isn’t it?
This has been played here a lot of times and my nephews really had a great time.The only one who talks seem so embarrased but found it amusing as well lol.
