There is a game called the Cranberry Competition, in which a large bowl filled with cranberries is placed on the ground, 4-10 contestants sit around, and each person is given a piece of needlework. At the beginning of the competition, they first threaded their needles and threaded the cranberries one by one. When 3 minutes were up, whoever could string the longest would win the prize. As for the person who dressed the slowest, everyone jokingly gave him a worst prize. There is also a corn game that is also very old. First hide five corns in the house, and let everyone find them separately. The five people who find the corns participate in the competition, while the others watch. At the beginning of the game, five people quickly peeled the corn kernels in a bowl. Whoever finished peeling the corn kernels first won the prize. Then people who did not participate in the competition gathered around the bowl and guessed how many corn kernels were inside. The one with the closest guess received the prize. A big bag of popcorn. A favorite game is Pumpkin Race. The contestant uses a small spoon to push the pumpkin. The rule is that the pumpkin must not be touched with hands. The first to reach the finish line wins. The smaller the spoon used in the competition, the more interesting the game is.
