With the charm under the chair one could tape it close enough to the edge that would be easy to reach but not seen by others.

Anyone who is in a wheelchair doesn't get any squares.

How about pick 3 names out of a hat, have them each answer 3 quilting/sewing questions. Whoever gets them all/most right wins. Have extra questions for tie a breaker. But it would be nice for each to win something.

It could be fun, hopefully not embarrassing for anyone.

I like this idea best! You would need to have a contingency prize in case more than one person had all their numbers drawn....

We once did a color game. Have slips of paper in a hat with colors on them or pieces of colored paper. Draw one out and the person wearing the most of that color wins. ( We had a tie once til she showed her pink undies! so be carefull)

You could have two hats--a Guild hat and a Hostess hat. Gather a bunch of unique scraps (ie not duplicates). Cut each scrap in half and place a half into each hat. As members come in, they pick a scrap from the Guild Hat. Later you, the caller, draw a scrap from the Hostess Hat. The winner is the person with the matching half.

All such great ideas to consider. Thank you! I am keeping each and every one on a list for future reference.

So far, our guild doesn't have any members with special needs or wheel chairs. Thank you tessagin for your tip to be sure and tape it to the front so it would be easy to find.

So many wonderful ideas. I realized I need a quick way to give the prize away because the program will be towards the end of the meeting and everyone may be ready to go home.

Taping under the chair requires you to get there before anyone else so nobody watches where you put the piece! Lots of cute ideas here.

How about a deck of cards? Pass the deck around and have everyone pick one, then have either a draw from a separate deck or have someone name a card.

A flashlight? marbles? 6 foot or longer measuring tape?
Who has the most keys? I won that one once! :-)
