Give Me Information Please
Give each family member an index card with another family member's name on it. When you say, "Go," family members have 30 minutes to walk around the reunion and mingle with other family members to find out about the person on their index card. However, they cannot ask the person directly. Tell them to write down all the facts and any embarrassing stories that other family members reveal. After 30 minutes, have one family member at a time call up his person and reveal all he has learned about him from mingling with other family members.
Family Member Trivia
While everyone is revealing their facts and stories, write down questions about them. Give everyone a sheet of paper and read the questions. They must answer the questions on their sheet of paper. This will see who was paying attention and who learned the most about their family members.
Ball Juggle
Have everyone sit in a circle and hand one player a small foam ball. That player must say her name and her parents' names. She will toss the ball to someone else who must do the same thing. After each person has done this, the players will say the names of their kids (if they have any) when they ball comes to them. For the last round, everyone must state one interesting fact about themselves.
Family Bingo
Hand each family member a blank bingo grid. Players must fill their grid while mingling with family members. For example, he must approach someone and carry on a short conversation with him. After they talk, they can both sign each other's bingo cards. This is a great way to get everyone communicating with one another. Write down everyone's name on slips of paper and place them in a bowl. Call out the names and the first player to get a bingo diagonally, horizontally or vertically wins the game.
