The Lucky Seven Shake

As one of the early numbers of a Den-family picnic, get everybody into the spirit of the occasion by conducting this game.  Secretly provide one of the numbers with a liberal collection of candy.  Explain the game and start everybody shaking hands.  Ask those who have not met previously to introduce themselves.  The one who shakes hands, and he hands every seventh person one of the candies.  As soon as the children discover the holder of the candies they gather around them or form a line.  That’s the signal for the adults to drop out of the game and watch the handshaking proceed until the candy is exhausted.
