When you can play Alka-Seltzer Tag<\/a> for (nearly) free and stay cool at the same time?<\/p>\n

\n

Set-up is very easy:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. drill a small hole through the center of an Alka-Seltzer tablet<\/li>\n
  2. thread a string through the hole.  Make sure the string is long enough to tie around a person’s neck so the Alka-Seltzer can be worn as a necklace. <\/li>\n
  3. have lots and lots and lots of water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Then, the object of the game is to get the other person’s Alka-Seltzer wet.  As the tablet reacts to the water, it will start foaming and eventually fall off the string.  The last person with an Alka-Seltzer necklace is the winner.  As an alternative, you can divide into teams instead of every-person-for-themselves.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    The kids would love it.  Some of the adults would, too, I suspect.<\/p>\n
