Now you will want to find fun thing to share.
You will want to collect 6-8 items to play with.
Get creative! You can use paper, pen, markers, blindfolds, roses, books of love poems, or fortune cookies.

Chili pepper flavors can spice things up.
If you have a favorite food you both love, throw that in there. -
Step 2: Find a place to play.
You will want a large flat surface and some privacy.
For ideal spinning, use a nice flat hardwood floor.
This is going to work better than a textured surface like carpet.
You could use the floor in your room, or get creative and find a secluded place in the park and set out a large blanket on a flat piece of grass in the shade. , Spread out the food, markers, pens and whatever else you have chosen to play with.
Make sure they are far enough apart that it will be obvious which item or person the bottle lands on when you spin it.
Each person is also a part of the circle.
The items are where the other people would be sitting if you were playing in a group. , It should be on it’s side and within arms reach for both people, so the circle shouldn’t be too big. , This game is best played with someone you are already in a relationship with.

Glass bottles will have more weight and be more likely to stay in the middle and spin.
Plastic bottles can get a little wild, so use a gentle touch. , Whichever item the mouth of the bottle is pointing toward when the bottle stops spinning determines what the spinner must do.
Grab the item or the person and do the appropriate action.
Feed the food to the other person.
Write them a love note with the pen and paper.
Draw them a picture with the markers.
Read a love poem to the other person.
Read their fortune from the fortune cookie.
