Hobbies And Interests
Pass The Hat
Group your guests into two or more teams with an equal number of players each. Instruct the players to line up. Place a hat on the head of the person at the back of each line. Explain to your guests that the goal is to pass the hat from one player&'s head to the next. Each player must wear it before passing it to the next player. The first team to pass the hat to the player at the front of the line, wins. Of course there&'s a twist. Hands can&'t be used to pass the hat.
Balloon Soccer
Give each of your guests a balloon that is the length of a baseball bat when they arrive at the party. Divide the players into two teams. Each team guards a clothes basket at their end of the room. The guarding can only be done using the balloons. You cannot swat the balloon being used as the ball with your hand, nor can you stand in front of your team&'s basket to block it. Teams compete until one team has landed the ball in the other team&'s clothes basket five times.
Lifesavers Passing Game
Divide the group into several teams, each with an equal number of players, and give each player a toothpick. Players must hold the toothpicks in their mouths with no assistance from their hands or teammates&' hands. Each team forms a line with the player in the front of the line having a Lifesavers candy on his toothpick. The Lifesaver must be passed from toothpick to toothpick without the use of hands, even if it falls on the ground. The first team to complete the task wins.
I Have Never
Ask each guest that is attending the party to bring a $10 roll of quarters with them. This will be used in the "I Have Never" game. Players form a circle around the room with a large glass jar in the middle. The first player announces something that he has never done. Any player that has done that activity must place a quarter in the jar. Continue around the circle until only one player has a quarter remaining. If someone starts a round by saying something she has never done and another player can prove the player is incorrect, the player that made the claim must pay five quarters into the jar. The final player splits the money in the jar with the host.
Two Truths and a Lie
When your guests RSVP for your party, ask them to send you two statements that are true about themselves and one that is a lie. These items should not be obvious. Your guests should have difficulty telling if the items are truthful or lies. An example of a poor statement choice would be, "I have black hair." A good one would be, "In college I was once given tickets by two different police officers in one night." Give each guest a piece of paper as they arrive with the three statements by each guest. Players try to guess the lie for each player. The player that guesses the most lies correctly is the winner.
