Party Games

Who am I?
Pick a category such as cartoon characters, movie stars, vegetables, etc. Pin the name of one of these items on the back of each guest as they arrive. Tell them that they need to find out who they are by asking other people for help.
The rules are:
1. ask yes or no questions only
2. answer yes or no questions
3. no removing your own name tag to find out. If you ask, anyone will help you find out your identity.
If you need people seated or grouped up this may be a good way to do it. Have place cards at the seat of each item. Or have a few different categories of item to guess. Then when it comes time to group up have the cartoon characters go here, vegetables there, etc.


Musical Chairs
The old favorite. With one fewer chairs than people, a short snippet of music is played while the people move 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.

Birthday Present Game
Materials:
· 1 Pair of Gloves
· 1 Hat
· 1 Die (perhaps two dice if group is large)
· A Prize wrapped in several layers of newspaper and boxes.
· The group stands in a circle. The gloves, hat, and wrapped box are placed in the center. someone begins by rolling the dice. If they roll a 6, they hurry into the middle and put on the gloves and hat. They then start to unwrap the package. They must move fast because the next person to roll a 6 takes the hat off of the person in the center. The person in the center stops immediately and takes off the gloves, gives them to that person, and he/she goes back to the circle. The game continues like this until the package is completely unwrapped and the last person

· Sticker Stalker - When guests begin to arrive at your house, give each guest a pack/sheet of 10 stickers. The object of this game is to get rid of all your stickers by sticking them on the other guests (One sticker per guest). However, if the guest you are "stickering" catches you, he/she gets to stick one of his/her stickers on you. If you are "caught", you must temporarily take your sticker back, and you can try to sticker that same person later (at your own risk). But if someone falsely accuses you of "stickering" him/her, then you can automatically put one of your stickers on that person. The first one to get rid of all 10 of their original stickers is the winner!
receives their prize. It's really noisy and incredibly fun!

· Sign My Arm - No, this is not a game like "Pull My Finger"! Give all of your guests a marker, and have everyone at the party put a paper bag over their signing hand (arm). When the host/hostess says, "Go," then everyone in the room must obtain as many signatures as they can. It isn't as easy as it sounds though, because each person has to keep the paper bag on their signing hand (so they must sign with the opposite hand). At the end of 5 minutes, the person with the most signatures is the winner!
