Object of the Game: Not to get caught with two ties.
Items Needed: Two Neck Ties
Preparation: Have everyone sit in a circle. Give one person one tie, and give the person sitting opposite them the other tie.

Directions: A person says go and the game begins. The Cat neck tie makes one knot and unties it and passes it to the next person in the circle as fast as they can. At the same time the Rat neck tie has to make two knots and then unties it and passes it to the next person as fast as they can. Soon the ties will catch up to each other and the person caught with both ties must get up and sing a song, bark like a dog, or something else that is silly. Then play begins again with two different players.

Example: This game has been used by the missionaries of the Nevada Las Vegas Mission in large family home evenings for investigators and member families. It has helped to break the ice and has brought fun to an evening of fellowship.

Note: The knots in the neck ties need not be tied like a real tie but just a simple knot or over-hand loop.
