Chocolate-Mint: Castile soap comes in peppermint and can be used as the soap base. Mint essential oil can also be added to unscented shampoo. Chocolate-Coconut: Add a tablespoon or two of coconut oil or a few drops of essential oil to the mixture. Try some other essential oils such as orange, vanilla, cherry, or another favorite scent.
Tips… Make a gift basket: An inexpensive gift basket can be made up for birthdays, holidays, or just because! Check the dollar store for travel-size bottles, bath puffs, and baskets. Label your creation: Think about making labels for your final product.
Ghost in the Graveyard is a tag-like game that can be played with many players or just a few. It is best played at twilight into night, but it can also be played during the day.
How to play:
The game starts with one ghost, once the players determine who that will be, he/she will stand in one place and give the other players 1 – 3 “days” to hide by counting up to midnight out loud (“1 o’clock, 2 o’clock…12 o’clock, noon-time, 1 o’clock, 2 o’clock…….12 o’clock, MIDNIGHT!”). When the “ghost” finishes counting the days, they should call out, “The ghost comes out at night!” or something similar to indicate that the “ghost” is ready to find the hidden players. When the “ghost” finds one of the hidden players, the player can run, but once they are tagged, they will become “stunned” and won’t be able run away again. The “ghost” will then gently place his/her hands on the player’s shoulders and say, “You are now a ghost in the graveyard!”. That player will then become a “Ghost in the Graveyard” as well, and together the two “ghosts” will go around looking for the other hidden players and turn each of them into ghosts. After all of the players are turned into, “ghosts”, the last player caught becomes the new, “Ghost in the Graveyard” and the game can begin again.
Importantnote: The hidden players can change their hiding place at any time and may run when they are found, but they must freeze once they are tagged. There is no home base or safe zone in this game. Feel free to change the rules as needed! Happy Haunting!
