| Pass
the Parcel |
| Wrap a prize in a layer
of paper, wrapping paper always looks more appealing (e.g small
toy, chocolate etc) . Now wrap it in another layer, this time
include a forfeit (e.g tap your head and rub your belly at the
same time) and repeat until you have about 10 layers. |
Sit everyone
in a circle and play a short snippet of music. When the music
stops, the person holding the parcel removes ONE layer of
wrapping. Repeat until the last layer of wrapping has been
removed.
The winner keeps the prize. |
| Pin
the Tail on the Donkey |
| Before the
game is played, a large donkey is to be drawn (without it's
tail) and stuck to a wall. A separate tail is made and a piece
of blu-tac attached to the top of it. |
In turn the
players are blindfolded, standing a short distance from the
donkey, they must guess where the tail should go. The player who
is the most accurate wins. |
| Musical
Chairs |
|
The old favorite.
With one fewer chairs than people, a short snippet of
music is played while everyone dances around the room.
When the music stops everyone tries to sit on a vacant
chair.
|
(Only
ONE person per chair) The
person who doesn't find a chair is out.
One chair is taken away and the game continues until only
one person (The Winner) is left.
|
| Musical
Statues |
|
This is like Musical Chairs,
but when the music stops, the players have to keep still as
possible. Anyone
who moves, quivers, shakes etc is out. |
The winner
is the last one still playing.
|
| Chinese
Whispers |
|
Sit everyone in a circle.
One person is chosen to start the ‘whisper’ by
whispering a phrase to the person sat next to them. |
They, in
turn, whisper what they heard to the next person, and so on.
The last person announces what they heard.
|
| Mummies |
| Split
the patry goers into teams of three or more and give each team a
toilet roll. One person is chosen to be the ‘Mummy’ whilst
the other team members have to wrap them from head to toe with
the toilet paper. |
The
winning team is the one who in a set time (say 2 minutes) have
the neatest and most covered Mummy. |
| Stuck
in the Mud |
|
One person is 'IT' and has
to run round touching as many people as they can. When they have touched someone, that person has to stop
and stand with their legs apart and their hands outstretched,
until someone crawls through their legs.
|
If you've
been caught three times, then you are out.
The game ends when everyone left is standing still.
|
| Who’s
the Monkey? |
|
The players choose the
leader. He/she goes out the room.
While the leader is absent the players choose the monkey.
When the leader returns, ‘the monkey’ begins to make
movements - to shake the head, to stamp with the foot etc. The
players repeat all the movements. |
They must do
it so as the leader cannot understand who is the monkey. If the
leader guesses who ‘the monkey’ is, ‘the monkey’ becomes
the leader in the next round.
|
| Balloon
Pop |
|
Place small pieces of folded
paper in un-inflated balloons. Mark one of the pieces of paper
as the winner. Inflate all the balloons and hang them randomly
around the room. |
Then, all
the players are to pop as many balloons as possible to find the
winning one! |
| Memory
Game
|
|
On a tray, place about 10 to
15 small items (e.g. pencil, watch, comb, shoe lace, spoon, toy
car, etc.) and cover with a cloth. Sit everyone in a circle.
Place the tray in the middle of the circle and
remove the cloth for 60 seconds. Everyone has to remember the objects. When the time is up, replace the cloth. In turn, each person has to name an object on
the tray. |
The first
person to fail to name an object, repeat an object or name
something not on the tray is out.
The tray is then removed and some or all of the objects
replaced, and the game re-started with the person following the
one who is out. If
the game is too easy for the group, add more objects or reduce
the time.
