-- Teen Party Games --

You will need:
A piece of paper, a pen/pencil, and a bowl or hat.

Preparation:
Count how many kids want to play then rip the paper into that many sections (it is best if you rip the paper into six sections, additional sheets of paper may be necessary.)

On two pieces of paper, write M for mofia or murderer, S for sheriff,D for doctor, and N for narrator. On all the other pieces of paper write P for person.

How to Play:
Put the pieces of paper into a bowl and have everyone draw one. Have them read it to themselves but not out loud.

Have the narrator say "good night town of..." (give the town a random name like Chewbaccaville). Then the narrator will say,"Mofia, wake up."

The mofia will lift up their heads and point to the person they want to "kill". After they have decided they will put their heads down.

The narrator will then wake up the sheriff. He will ask the sheriff who he think is the mofia. The sheriff will point to someone then "go back to sleep".

The narrator will then wake up the doctor and ask him who he wants to save. The doctor will point to someone then go back to sleep.

Then the narrator will wake up the whole "town" and will say for example, "Sadly last night Ginny was killed." Or if the doctor had pointed to the same person the mofia had pointed to the narrator will say,"Last night Ginny came close to dying but the doctor was able to save her!"

After this the people will vote on who they think is the mofia. If the majority of the people vote on one person that person is dead and out of the game. They are then free to say if they were or were not the mofia.

If you got rid of a mofia, great. If not, that's too bad. The game continues in this fashion until all the mofia or all the people are dead. The only person who is not able to be killed is the narrator.

I hope you enjoy this game! Good luck!
