Snap-dragon (game)

Snap-dragon is a really fun game that people used to play a long time ago. It's a game that you can play with your friends and family, and it involves fire! But don't worry, it's a perfectly safe and fun game to play as long as you are careful.

Here's how you play snap-dragon:

1. Gather your supplies: You need a bowl of raisins or currants, a bottle of brandy or other alcohol, and a small flame. You can use a candle or lighter for this.

2. Pour the alcohol into the bowl of raisins or currants, and let it sit for a little bit so the raisins soak up the alcohol.

3. Take the bowl to a dark room or dimly lit area, and light the alcohol on fire. You should see a blue flame.

4. Now comes the fun part! Each player takes a turn reaching into the bowl of flaming raisins, and trying to grab as many as they can and eat them. The goal is to grab as many as you can without getting burned!

5. The game continues until the flame goes out or there are no more raisins left to grab.

Snap-dragon is a really fun game, but it's important to be safe and careful when playing with fire. Always have an adult present, and make sure you don't get burned or hurt while playing.
