Honey, If You Love Me & Poor Poor Pussy Cat

Honey, If You Love Me

Everyone sits in a circle and one person is the "it."  That person then goes up to someone in the circle and asks them “Honey, if you love me won't you please please smile?”  The person in the circle must say “Honey, I love you, but I just can't smile.”  If the person in the circle can say that without smiling or laughing, then the "it" has to pick someone else and try again.  If the person in the circle does smile or laugh, then they are the "it" and must go up to someone else. 

Poor Poor Pussy Cat
Everyone sits in a circle and one person is the "it."  That person then goes up to someone in the circle and gets 3 chances to “meow.”  After each “meow” the person in the circle has to say “Poor Poor Pussy Cat.”  If the person in the circle can say that three times without smiling or laughing, then the "it" in the middle has to pick someone else and try again.  If the person in the circle does smile or laugh, then they are the "it" and must go up to someone else and “meow.” 

Note: Depending on the group set up rules while teaching the game.  "Poor Poor Pussy Cat" doesn't have people sitting on each others' laps usually, while "Honey, if you love me" usually does.  So, use good judgment about what is appropriate and what your group can handle.
