Chubby Bunny
Guests each get about 15 marshmallows. Each guest will start by stuffing one marshmallow into his/her mouth (you cannot bite,
chew or smash the marshmallow while it is in your mouth). Each guest must then say "Chubby Bunny" so that everyone can understand what they are saying.
Continue to add one marshmallow at a time. After each marshmallow is added each player must say "Chubby Bunny". Players are eliminated if they cannot
cay say "Chubby Bunny", if they cannot add more marshmallows or if they spit the marshmallows out. The winner is the player who can say "Chubby Bunny"
with the most marshmallows in his/her mouth. This is a hilarious game.
I've Never
Everyone starts out with a set amount of pennies.
One person begins by saying "I've Never…" and then adds something they've never done, - I've never watched the movie
Titanic. Everyone who HAS watched the movie Titanic must throw one of their coins into a bowl.
Everyone must be honest. The last one with a coin wins.
Sample statements:
- I've never been to Disneyland
- I've never gotten an F on my report card
- I've never had a piece of gum
- I've never been to summer camp
- I've never been out of the country
- I've never broken a bone
Match-A-Mate
When guests arrive, give each guest a slip of paper with the name of a member from a famous pair. The guest will have to find their mate to complete the
famous pair. This party game encourages guests to interact and get to know each other.
Examples:
- Sponge Bob - Patrick
- Miley Cyrus - Hanna Montanna
- Cookies - Milk
Frozen T-Shirt
For each player you'll need one t-shirt and one plastic zip lock bag. Place one neatly folded t-shirt in each bag and pour in approximately 2 cups of water.
Freeze them overnight.
Give each player a bag with a frozen t-shirt. Each player must find creative ways to thaw the t-shirt, so they can put it on. The first player to put the
t-shirt on is the winner.
Lemon Roll
Divide players into equal teams of 2 or more. Teammates should be spaced about 20 feet apart. Each team will receive 1 lemon and 1 pencil.
The object of the game is to roll the lemon on the floor to the teammate across the room using only a pencil.
The lemon will wobble and rarely roll in a straight line. The first team to push the lemon back and forth 4 times is the winner.
Rumor Has It
Write a fictional story on a piece of paper about 3-4 sentences long. Make it more interesting by including guests in the story. The 1st player will whisper
the story to the second player, the second player will whisper the story to the third player and so on until the story has been shared with everyone. Once the
story has been shared with everyone, the last person will tell the story to the entire party.
Balloon Burst
This game will require a lot of space. Tie a string to a balloon and tie it to the leg of each guest. Leave about 10 - 16 inches of string on each balloon.
Each guest will try and pop the other guest's balloons. Once your balloon is popped, you are out of the game and cannot pop another guest's balloon. The last
person with an inflated balloon is the winner.
Scavenger Hunt
This is a great icebreaker game for adults and children. Give each group a list of items to locate during the scavenger hunt.
You can also request guests to bring some items to the party with them. Use your imagination. The
scavenger hunt area can be done inside and outside or can be limited to one area. Listed below are some sample items:
- Maryland state quarter
- red sock
- picture of a cat
- soda bottle cap
- restaurant take out menu
- rock shaped like a heart
- can of vegetables
The team with the most items checked off their list wins.
