Q: Tell everyone to find a spot in the room where they cannot touch anyone else. Have them sit down. If you are playing with a group of people who don't know each other well, an icebreaker is a great way for everyone to meet. If your group is shy, you can start by introducing yourself first. Ask each person to share: Their name. Their favorite hobby. One interesting fact about themselves. You may not need to conduct an icebreaker if everyone is already good friends. Instruct half of the people to put on their blindfolds. The blindfolded group will be the "guessers" first. Instruct the blindfolded group to stand up and begin walking slowly until they find a non-blindfolded partner. Each person who is not blindfolded should stand in the path of a blindfolded player. You may need to help everyone find a partner. Remind the blindfolded group to reach gently and slowly in the space in front of them and avoid swinging their arms around. Remind everyone that this game is to be played in silence. Say, "Once you have found a partner, please explore the features of that partner with your hands. Remember always to be appropriate with the way you touch one another." Instruct everyone that the guessing will begin. Ask each blindfolded player to tell you who his or her partner is. If everyone has just met, ask the blindfolded people to describe their partner if they don't remember their partner's name. Watch their reactions as they discover who their partner is. Each person who succeeds in guessing their partner's identity, or is able to describe what they look like, wins. Have the other group put on their blindfolds and play the game again. Keep switching roles and play as many times as you like.
A: Spread out. Conduct a quick icebreaker. Divide the group in half. Begin the game by playing some party music. Give the blindfolded group a chance to feel their partner's features. Stop the music after about 30 seconds. Instruct the blindfolded group to remove their blindfolds. Switch roles.

Q: Many people believe dry cleaning is gentler, and thus preferable for an electric blanket. This is not the case. In fact, it's extremely important to avoid dry cleaning your electric blanket, as the chemicals used in dry cleaning can damage the insulation that surrounds the blanket's heating elements. In general, you want to do as little cleaning, treating, and otherwise caring for your electric blanket as possible. In particular, never iron an electric blanket, as an iron can easily damage the blanket wires' insulation. If, during washing or drying, any of the heating wires within the blanket become displaced or otherwise damaged, do not use the electric blanket any further. If you are at all uncertain about the condition of your blanket, the best option is to avoid using it. You can check to ensure the wires are all in place by holding the blanket between you and a bright light source. The wires should all be evenly spaced, and never overlap. Most manufacturers recommendations will direct you not to dry your blanket in a commercial dryer, such as those at the laundromat. The reason is heat: commercial dryers can get much hotter, and risk damaging your blanket. However, if you are careful to set the dryer at its lowest heat setting and check frequently to prevent drying the blanket all the way, you can safely use most commercial dryers.
A:
Do not dry clean your electric blanket. Do not iron an electric blanket. Inspect the blanket after washing and drying. Take care at the laundromat.
