Quaker meeting (game)
Quaker Meeting, or Quaker's meeting, is a child's game which is initiated with a rhyme and becomes a sort of quiet game where the participants may not speak, laugh, or smile. The rhyme has many variations, but is similar to the following:
- Quaker meeting has begun.
- No more laughing, no more fun.
- If you show your teeth or tongue,
- you must pay a forfeit.
Another version is as follows:
- Quaker meeting has begun,
- no more talking, no more fun.
- no more chewing chewing gum.
- starting now...
