Activities for Family & Friends

Guess Who

• The guess who game can involve any number of people. One person will be the speaker who will call out a description of one individual in the room and everyone else has to guess whom the speaker is referring to. Two examples of descriptions are "X likes to spend hours working out in the gym" or "X hates computers and she refuses to use one." The best way to keep the game moving is to plan ahead and create a list of descriptions before the party.

How Well Do You Know Your Spouse?

• A game requiring memory and couples is sure to keep everyone entertained from the children to the adults. The game starts with four husbands leaving the room and their wives remaining in the room with the game host, family and friends. The game host will ask questions to each wife and mark down the answers. Examples of the questions are "Where did you go for your first date" or "How many shoes do you have." The husbands come back in the room and must answer the same questions. Players earn a point for each question answered correctly. The husband with the most points at the end of the game wins. To continue the game, the wives leave the room and then have to return to answer questions about their spouses.

Charades

• A classic game that family and friends will enjoy at a get together is charades. Players are split into two teams. Each team will take a turn sending up one or two members to act out an action, phrase or title of a movie for the other team members to guess. A timer limits the amount of time that a team has to guess the answer.

Fee Fi Fo Fum

• "Fe Fi Fo Fum" is a game where four players stand up in the front of the room and turn their backs to the audience. The players will be handed a blindfold to place over their faces. The game host will place four papers on the backs of the players, One paper will say "Fe," one "Fi," one "Fo" and one "Fum." Each player does not know what his sign says so no family member or friend should tell him. The game host will then call out questions such as "Who is more likely to jump out an airplane or "Who showers every single night no matter what." After each description the crowd should scream out the sign name of the person whom they think sounds more like the description. After all the descriptions are done, the papers are removed from the players' backs. The players remove the blindfolds and guess who they think they are -- Fee, Fi, Fo or Fum. The more creative the descriptions, the more challenging and fun the game will be.
