Party Memory Games

Drinking Memory Game

• Integrate the classic Memory game with your friends and cocktails. Use a deck of cards to play. One person flips cards at a time. Flipping over a pair of the same number lets you select one player to take a drink; a pair of the same number and color lets you select two people. If no match is selected, then you have to take a drink. Once you have flipped your two cards, it is the next player&'s turn. A minimum of two people are required to play, but try to play with more people so the drinks are more evenly dispersed.

Kid&'s Memory Game

• Play this memory game at a child&'s birthday party or a similar event. Let the birthday girl be the game master. She will gather 20 different objects, or if you&'re having a party, ask each guest to bring one object. The only one to initially see all 20 objects is the game master. She will cover the objects with a towel, and uncover them for two minutes to let guests see the objects. Once the objects are covered again, the guests write down the objects they can remember. The one with the biggest list wins a prize.

World&'s Greatest Sandwich

• Play the ice-breaking memory activity "World&'s Greatest Sandwich." Sit in a circle and begin by stating your name and which ingredient the world&'s greatest sandwich has. For example: "My name is Nicole and the world&'s greatest sandwich has mayo." The next person in the circle announces his name, states Nicole&'s ingredient and his ingredient. Make the game even more difficult by having players state all the ingredients and all the players&' names that went before them.
