[edit] Peg in the Bottle

Peg in the bottle is a game traditionally played at Christmas Parties in the North of England. Originating from deprived families who had little more than utensils and empty milk bottles to play with, the game evolved into a phenomenon in the 20th century. To play you require a milk bottle, 3 clothes pegs, or in extreme circumstances where no pegs are available, 'pens'.

[edit] Rules

An unlimited amount of players can get involved, each player has 3 pegs or 'pens'. Players must kneel on a chair and attempt to drop the pegs into the milk bottle. The player with the highest number of successful 'Pegs in bottle' wins. If two or more players get the same amount, then they progress to the next round until the champion of peg/pen dropping is crowned.
