Party games 3

In our opinion it is not necessary to classify games as suitable for children, teenagers or adults, as the players themselves can decide which games are suitable for them, or may be not suitable for their children.
Let’s face it, when it’s part time, many adults act like children, why, for example must a game like ‘Feeding the Baby’ be thought, only suitable for children?
The idea of party games is to enjoy yourself and maybe lose a few of those inhibitions, even if it is only for a few hours. So start being silly right here !

Silly Names.

To break the ice between people who do not know each other and to help the party go with a swing, give all your guests a new name as they arrive. Write the funny/silly names on name tags place the names in a hat, get each guest to pluck a name from the hat as they arrive. (You might like to separate male and female names) Get them to pin their name on their clothing and they must be addressed by that name at all times.
RULES.
1) They cannot change a name if they don’t like the one they picked from the hat.
2) If any guest is caught not wearing their name tag, they must pay a forfeit.
3) If any guest addresses another guest by any name other than the one on their name tag, they must also pay a forfeit.

Scavenger Hunts

This game can be played indoors as well as out. Get 5 to ten different sheets of coloured paper and cut them all into equal numbers of squares. Players must find one square of each colour. The first to do so being the winner. The trading of squares between players is allowed
Any number can play, although it helps to have a rough idea of numbers prior to the party so that the squares can be scattered. The game can be made more challenging by dividing players into teams and awarding points for the number of squares collected, and more challenging depending upon how well the squares are hidden.
A good way to follow up a scavenger hunt is an egg drop. You will need: black bin bag, small box or container, string, sticky tape, balloons, everything else you can think of, and an egg. You need all this for each team. Points from the scavenger hunt can be used to 'buy' the above.
Teams (threes work well) have to construct a device into which an egg can be placed and then dropped from a height by an adult. This can be from a window or from a step ladder. The aim is to prevent the egg from breaking. Prizes can be awarded to everyone for various spurious reasons (egg not breaking, most broken egg, best idea, best looking device, noisiest team etc
Tips
· An adult should drop the device, and another adult should open the device at the bottom to see if it's broken - keep the children away from the landing point! Put surviving eggs back in the box and hide it!!
· Get the children to shout a countdown, cheer for surviving eggs, and shout 'Wipeout' (or something) when they break.
· Give the contestants the egg as late as possible in the construction, and make sure you've got some spares.
· Don't give them scissors.
· Don't use your best carpet as the landing point.
Adults can play too!

Hilarious Handkerchief

Players: 6 or more. The players form a circle. One of them stands in the middle, throws a handkerchief up into the air, and starts laughing. Everyone in the circle laughs, too, until the handkerchief hits the floor. At that moment there is complete silence. Anyone who laughs is out.

Hot Potato Spuds

Players: 6 or more. Equipment: Potato, ball, stone or piece of wood - anything grabbable or passable . In the game ‘Hot Potato, Players sit in a circle and pass the ‘Hot Potato from one to another whilst the music is playing , when the music stops, the person with the potato is eliminated. but in this version you are not eliminated when you're caught with the potato. Instead, the next time you get the potato, you have to pass it in a "fancy" way. The leader sets the order.
Here are a few fancy ways to pass potatoes:
1. Over your head
2. Standing
3. Standing and turning around and sitting down
4. Under your left leg
5. Under your right leg
6. Around your neck
7. Behind your back
8. Shaking hands with the next player
9. Winking at the next player
10. Whistling or singing
11. Holding your nose
12. Bouncing up and down

Of course, if you're caught again and again, you gather up your penalties. You have to do the fancy thing you did the first time and then add a new one along with it! When you've been caught several times, it takes you longer to pass the potato than anyone else, naturally, so you're more likely to be caught again! To ensure no bias in favour or against any player, The person in charge of the music should look away whilst playing - and stopping - the music.

Monkey See Monkey Do

In this very funny game, none of the players is allowed to laugh. Here's how it goes:
All the players sit close together in a circle. One of them starts the game by turning to the right-hand neighbour and doing something: The player may squeeze the neighbour's arm, muss up hair, straighten clothes, make a face, etc. Whatever that player does, the neighbour must do it to the next player to the right, and that player must do the same thing to the next neighbour.
This goes on all around the circle until it gets back to the first player.
Anyone who laughs is out of the game. Or if you prefer, that person can pay a forfeit to stay in the game. (See Forfeits .)
The player to the right of the first person then has a chance to do something different with the next person, and the game goes on.
This game is more fun if the circle is small. If you're in a large group, try forming a number of circles - 10 is a good number for one circle.
VARIATIONS. Instead of just starting a different action the second time around The second action could be added to the first. E.G. First time Tap the 2nd players head. Second time Tap the head, then shake hands, Third time tap head, shake hands, wink. And so on.

Great Gift Steal

Tell everyone to bring a gift to the party. It can be as tacky or as trendy as they like (lots of fun when you set a price limit on it). Everyone puts their gift, wrapped, on a table. Write numbers on pieces of paper (from 1 to the number of people) and get everyone to draw a number. This is the order they go to select their gift.

Now the fun begins.

The person with number 1 selects their gift and opens it in front of the group. Person 2 goes to the table and has the choice of opening a gift, or if they like, they can ‘steal’ the gift that Person 1 opened. If his gift is stolen, person 1 then opens another gift.

Person 3 can open a new gift, or steal any already opened gift from Person 1 or Person 2. Whoever has their gift stolen can then open another gift.

This goes on until the person with the last number goes to the table. They can open the last gift on the table, or they can choose to steal any of the gifts that people have opened. If they steal a gift, the person who had the gift stolen opens and keeps the last gift on the table.

Poor Pussy

This famous game has been popular for generations! The players sit in a circle, except for one person who is "Poor Pussy."
"Poor Pussy" - let's call this unfortunate, PP - kneels in front of any player and meows. The person must stroke or pat PP's head and say, "Poor Pussy. Poor Pussy. Poor Pussy," without smiling.
If the person who is petting PP smiles, he or she becomes the next PP and PP (one) gets to sit in the circle.
It's almost impossible to keep a straight face when you're patting someone's head and saying "Poor Pussy," and to make it even tougher, PP is permitted to do ANYTHING to crack you up, including making weird purring sounds or ridiculous faces or other silly cat-ish moves. Other people in the circle are permitted to laugh, hoot, whistle, and do whatever they can to make it more difficult to keep your cool.

Feeding the Baby

You will need a number of teats (The number depends on you) plus a number of bottles. (Wine bottles will do.) Pour the same amount of liquid in each bottle, it can be water, milk, wine, beer. Pull a teat over each bottle and test that they are all working properly. At a signal, each "baby" tries to empty its bottle. The one to finish drinking the liquid first wins.
This is probably the most popular of all contests. It's hilarious, fast, and everyone loves being a baby again

Feeding the Baby (Again)

You will need : glasses of milk, teaspoons , bibs ( towels or teatowels) The number depends of the numbers ofcouples participating and the number of towels, spoons and glasses available.
This contest is similar to the "Baby Bottle Contest," but it is played by couples In any case, one partner feeds the other a small glass of milk, using a teaspoon, one spoonful at a time. The winning team is the first to finish the glass of milk.
Note: Keep the milk glass small and don't fill it all the way to the top. The faster the contest, the more exciting it is. (You can make it messier by using small bowls of jelly or custard instead of nilk

Paper Training Race

Two sheets of newspaper for each player (and a few extras in case they tear) In this race you're not allowed to take a step that isn't on newspaper! You start by putting down a sheet of newspaper in front of you and stepping on it. Then you put down the second sheet of paper and step on that - and have to turn around and pick up the first piece of paper and put it down, before you can take another step. Repeat this process all the way to the finish line.
This too is an excellent relay race for a large group

Chimp Race

(Probably for the younger, more supple players)
Players stand side by side. At a signal, they spread their feet apart, bend over and grasp their ankles. In this positions, with knees stiff, they both walk to the goal line, about 20 or 25 feet (6 or 8 m) away. The one who gets there first wins.
If they lose the grip on their ankles, they must return to the starting point and begin again.
This is a super relay race, if you have a large group.

Blow-Me-Down Race
2 (dry) medicine droppers (the kind that comes with nose drops - you can get them at a pharmacy);
2 small downy feathers (the kind in some sofa pillows) or see below If you can't
