Then, during the party pass out a shoe outline to each kid (make sure not to give a kid their own shoe outline) and give the kids a few minutes to figure out who’s shoe outline they have. Collect all the papers and give each page a different number (making a list of the kid’s name and the number of the page where his/her feet are outlined on). Have every person that arrives at the party outline their shoes on a piece of paper. This is one of those games for kids that usually lasts a few minutes and the kids normally want to play it several times. If someone does guess who the Mafia is, they then become the CG.

The game is ended either if someone guesses who the Mafia is (and is correct if that person is wrong – he/she must “die” on the spot), or if the Mafia has “killed” off everyone. If a certain person is winked at, they must die dramatically. Then everyone makes eye contact with everyone while the person who is the Mafia tries to “kill” people by winking at them. The CG then tells everyone to wake up and open their eyes. The CG walks around the circle and chooses someone to be the Mafia by tapping twice on their head (the rest of the people become detectives). At the beginning of the game, the CG tells everyone to “go to sleep” (close their eyes). The person standing up is the command giver (CG) and is in charge of telling people two basic commands, picking the Mafia, and telling the other people (the detectives) if they where right or wrong about who they think the Mafia is. Rules of the game: Everyone sits in a circle on the ground or in level chairs except for one person (everyone must be able to see everyone in the circle).
