Party Games: Great Games to Make Your Party a Success!

No matter the age of the participants, or the type of party you have, party games add fun to the festivities, and allow guests to become acquainted with each other. Just be sure the party games are age appropriate, and appropriate for the type party you are planning.

Adult parties can be just as full of fun and festivity as children's parties the party games are just a little different. For example, a fun game for married couples is "The Not So Newlywed Game." In this game, the women are given a questionnaire, and asked to answer questions like, "Where did you and your spouse go on your first date?" "What would your wife like better, chocolate or vanilla?" are just silly questions that get plenty of laughs, when the husbands answer.

Another entertaining game for both adults and kids, is the "egg game" Everyone is shown a bowl of eggs, told that all the eggs, except one, are hard boiled. One egg in the basket, you tell them, is raw. Each person smashes an egg on their foreheads until someone finds the raw egg. In reality, there is no raw egg, but the real fun is seeing the last person with the last egg. Will they break it against their forehead? If they do, they win a prize.

While most games are just really silly, and people think it is difficult to come up with new ideas, the truth is, it is the company you keep that makes the games fun. It is the laughter shared that makes friendships what they are. Whether your games are original or just homemade takes on old favorite trivia games, or painted colored circles on sheets of plastic, getting the participants all tangled up trying to stay on the right colors, party games do indeed add life to every party!

Pirate Party Games - Homemade Games to Make Your Pirate Party Go With a Swing

No Pirate Birthday Party would be complete without some great Pirate Party Games. There are plenty of ready made options from party supply outlets, but sometimes it's more fun to make your own.

 

One excellent Pirate party Game is called X Marks The Spot and it is really easy to put together. Simply get a large flip chart sized piece of paper and draw a Treasure Map onto it. make it as detailed as you wish, but make sure that you draw a Treasure Chest somewhere on the map.  Blindfold your party guests, one at a time, using a bandanna, and spin them around four or five times. Move them toward the Treasure Map and get them to mark an X, using a marker pen,  where they think the treasure chest is. Mark each party guests initials on their X so that you know which x belongs to whom. Whoever has the X that is the closest to the Treasure Chest ,after everyone has had a go, is the winner and gets their own treasure!

 

Another easy homemade pirate party game is called Buried Treasure. To make this game, you need some glass beads or similar jewels (2 jewels for each guest plus 5 extra). Bury them in a sandpit (the Treasure Island) and split your guests into teams (maximum of 6 per team). Place one bucket for each team 10 paces from the sandpit. Line up the teams behind the buckets. One pirate from each team must race to the Treasure Island (sandpit) and find ONE piece of treasure. They then take it back and drop it in their bucket. Only then can the next pirate on their team run to search for another piece of treasure. The winner can either be the first team that gets two jewels each, or the team that has the most jewels after a specific time (say 5 minutes). You can play this game a number of times, and it is always a great hit.

 

Other homemade games you can play include Pirate Treasure Hunt (hide a chest with chocolate coins), Sink The Pirate Ship and Pirate Treasure Toss.

When it is time to go home, give each guest a balloon cutlass. Modeling balloons are available in most toy stores and are a big hit with kids under nine. Just make sure that you do not give them out before home time, otherwise your party is not the only thing that will go with a bang!
