Object of the Game: To laugh, have fun, and be the last one in the circle.
Items Needed:
A couple of friends and a good sense of humor.
Preparation: Have everyone sit in a circle. One at a time choose a vegetable name. No duplicate names.

Directions: Once everyone has made their choice, you all cover your teeth with your lips, as if you were really old without your dentures in. One person will start by first saying their own veggie name followed by the name of the person they choose, i.e. Carrot to Corn. Then corn would say Corn to String Beans, etc. You may say the names in any voice you choose. Anything it takes to make someone laugh and show their teeth. Do NOT let your teeth show. If someone sees your teeth... you're out! Keep playing until there is only one person left.

Example: There are four players, the first chooses Corn, the second Carrots, the third String Beans, the fourth Broccoli. Everyone makes their mouths look like toothless gums by covering their teeth with their lips. Player one starts and says, "Corn to String Beans" in a high pitched voice. Because player three is String Beans they go next and say, "String Beans to Carrots" in an Elmer Fudd voice, some of the players giggle, but no teeth are revealed. Player two (Carrots) says, "Carrots to Broccoli" with a heavy accent making player one (Corn) laugh enough to show his/her teeth. Player one is out of the game. Player four (Broccoli) continues and says, "Broccoli to Corn"... etc. Everyone plays until only one player hasn't shown his/her teeth.

Note: It it really funny to watch, and hard to stay in the game, but it sure is fun. You can also play this game using a different category than vegetables, such as animals, colors, fruit, etc.
