Party Game 1: Who Am I?

This is a simple party game that can be played with a small group of people. Get some index cards and write a name of a famous person on each one. Then tape each individual card face down to the back of each guest. Have everyone walk around the room and talk to each other as the person mentioned on the card. Continue until everyone has figured out the “identity” of the person they are portraying. Award the winner with a small prize.

Party Game 1: The Question Game

Play this game with four or more players. Have everyone sit down on chairs in a circle. Going clockwise, the first person asks the individual next to them a question. That person then goes to the following person and asks a question. If the person responds to the question with an answer, a laugh, repeats the question to the next person, or makes a statement instead of a question; they are out of the game. The game will get everyone confused, which will add to the hilarity of the situation. The last person left in the circle wins.

Party Game 3: Name that Tune!

A great game for all music fans! Get together a bunch of CDs and prepare for a fun time. Before playing, created a list of the songs on paper with the answers on the back. Make copies for everyone. When the game starts, play a couple of seconds of the song, then stop it and have one of your participants try and guess the name of the song. Score points for the right answers. At the end of the game, award the player with the highest points with a new music CD.

Party Game 4: The Couples Game

The Couples Game is ideal for a party with a lot of couples Similar to the Newlywed Game, have one person from each couple leave the room. Then have those that are still in the room answer questions about their date/girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse. When the people asked to leave the room return, the fun begins. See which couple knows each other the best. Score points for correct answers and at completion, award the winning couple a prize.

Party Game 5: Balderdash

Balderdash is a great party game that can be played with small or large groups of people. You can find it at most game stores or online. The game is broken into categories: words, movies, people, initials and laughable laws. A category is chosen everyone playing tries to come up with the perfect bluff to fool everyone and writes it down on a piece of paper. After everyone is done, the person who pulled the category card reads the original word or phrase and then reads everyone’s version of what they think the word, person or phrase means along with the real answer. Everyone then tries to guess which one they think is the real deal. Guaranteed to promote fits of laughter, this is a fun game that your partygoers will get a kick out of playing.
