Game Ideas for a Direct Sales Home Party

Know Your Neighbor

• Know Your Neighbor is a good way to break the ice between strangers. When all of your guests have arrived, have them sit in a circle. Go around the circle and have each guest introduce herself to the rest of the group and relate one interesting fact. One guest is then chosen to sit in the middle of the group and point to a person in the perimeter. The chosen person must then relate the name and the interesting fact of the person sitting to her right. If the person gives the correct answer, she wins a prize from the home party products. The game continues until each player has a turn in the middle.

My Hero

• My Hero is another way for your guests to get to know each other. Have each guest bring a picture of someone in their lives, like a spouse or parent, or of a famous person or celebrity. Place the photos into a bag, and pull them out one at a time. The object is for each guest to attempt to guess who brought each picture. The guest who makes the most correct guesses receives one of your products.

Toilet Paper Bow

• Toilet Paper Bow can work with guests who are friends or strangers. Without telling them why, pass around a roll of toilet paper to all the guests and tell them to tear off as much as they think they might need. Then, tell the guests to hold the paper behind their backs and attempt to tie a bow. When everyone is finished, have all the guests vote to determine the best bow. The winner receives one of your products.

Three-Lettered Body Parts

• This game can be a clever marketing tactic if the products your selling involve parts of the body, such as clothing or bath and body items. Eleven parts of the human anatomy are spelled with three letters. Have each guest attempt to list all of the parts; the one who can name the most receives a product.
