Playing Post Office

In 1847, a 5-cent and 10-cent stamp was released from the post office. They were the first self-adhesive stamps issued and called "LICK and STICK." This inspired the children's kissing game, Post Office. Rules below.

Post Office Rules:

1. Divide the group into two: Boys(A) and Girls(B).
2. Group A goes into another room, such as a bedroom, which is called "the post office."
3. Each person from the stationary group(B) individually visits "the post office"—once there, they get a kiss from every member in the room. They then return to their original room.
4. Once everyone in the first group (A) has taken a turn, the other group (B) begins sending members to the first room. In this way every member of both groups is guaranteed a kiss from every member of the opposite group.


Recipe for LICK and STICK

1. Mix the gelatin and the water together in a pan.
2. Heat the mix over a medium heat until the gelatin is dissolved.

3.Add the peppermint extract and let the mix cool.

4. Paint a thin layer onto the back of any picture, envelope and let it dry.

Okay.. now go have some Lick and Stick fun.
