Spin the bottle is a kissing game for children. I believe children are about 12 years old in the 8th grade, but I am certain someone will correct me if my memory is incorrect. The Wikipedia provides the following explanation of this game: "Spin the bottle is a party game in which several players sit in a circle. The game starts by one player spinning a bottle. Whomever the bottle points to, the spinner must kiss. The person being kissed becomes the next spinner. Traditionally, the spinner may spin again if the bottle points to a player of the same gender, though this is not always the case. Spin the bottle is not a game in the traditional sense of having winners and losers. It is primarily used as a reason for young people to engage in the activity of kissing." Children's parties were closely chaparoned when I was a child (I am 55 now), but the chaparones seemed to find a little something to do in the kitchen when it was time to play "spin the bottle." But because the chaparones had played the game themselves as children...they knew exactly when to reappear to keep a proper sense of propriety. I theorize that because boys and girls are segregated and rarely play together; the parents devised ways to introduce boy-girl play. ...of course, that's only my guess... This leads me to my question: Do the Chinese have kissing games at children's parties?

Two reasons: one, they believe that having a or more boyfriend/girlfriend will definitely ruin your study and exam. second, you are too young to understand love and relationship between boy and girl. you only can find your bf or gf after graduation. ^o^

I don’t know whether today’s parent will let their kids to play kissing game. But we were not allowed to make any close contact to girls when we were young kids. I played spin the bottle with my friends. But we didn’t kiss each other. The one who faced the bottle just drank.
