Post office or postman's knock is a kissing party game played at teenage parties. It has been referred to in United States popular culture since at least the 1880s. [1]
The participants divide into two groups – typically a girls' group and a boys' group. Group A stays in place, while group B goes into another room designated the "post office."
Each member of group A individually visits the "post office." Once there, they receive a kiss from each member of group B, after which they return.
Once everyone in group A has taken a turn, group A's room becomes the new "post office", to which group B begins sending members, where they receive a kiss from each member of group A.
