Party Games
« on: November 09, 2016, 05:01:10 PM »

Does anyone know of good party games that a crowd of 30 can do. Quite elderly so no moving around. I can only come up with a quiz and pass the parcel.

Mum used to lay a tray with small items - a few moments of looking B4 the tray was re-covered.  The one who remembers the most ………. each person has a pen and paper

I-spy?  Working through the alphabet backwards. 

"I Packed my Bag and in it I put" ……. no pen and paper here, memory only with someone jotting down the list as it grows.  As people get the answer incorrect they drop out.

Hangman.  Snap. 

Old fashioned 'bingo' unless they already play this on a regular basis.

A sitting down action game, singing "My hat it has 3 corners."

How do you play that?

I already have a quiz made up   . Games have not to involve me in getting stuff so bingo is out. Charades involving 30 people is a No. as is hangman, snap and object tray.
I have a game similar to who am I but that would have been a goer.

Thinking hats 🎩 on ladies.

Bramble I was going to add a link, but most have ads. However, if you google actions to My Hat It Has 3 Corners, you'll find instructions. Old & young like it, but takes practice! 😂

Similar to "I packed my bag...." is "I had for my dinner" then alphabetically e.g. Apple, Banana, Carrot, etc.

How about Three Word Story? Each person adds their three words then it passes to the next one along.

How about 'beetle'?

Is this something you need to plan on a regular basis?  Some of these games take time to organise.

Beetle is fine but I really need games that everyone can join in together - like pass the parcel. The quiz will mean them sitting in a small team so that is enough. I want them all to interact with each other. Musical chairs would be great but they are all rather elderly i.e. Older than me! And not quite so limber.

Gosh, this is harder than I thought! What on earth made me volunteer to be gamesmistress????
