- Snap Apple
Two sticks are placed together in the form of a cross. This is suspended from the ceiling by a cord. An apple is places on either ends of the stick and a lighted candle on the other sticks. Then it is put revolving and the members try and catch the apple in their turns. It is very often that the person catches the candle. This person is covered in candle grease and thus provides fun for the company.
