Games to Play during a New Years Eve Party
Many hosts spend a great amount of time planning the food and
cocktails for their New Years Eve party and do not give as much
consideration to the type of entertainment they plan to have at their
New Years Eve party. This is unfortunately because New Years Eve parties
offer a great opportunity to participate in some really fun games. New
Years Eve parties tend to last longer than many other parties so
traditional entertainment options such as dancing may not be enough to
keep the guests entertained. One fun way to spice a New Years Eve party
is by playing different games. This article will offer some fun ideas
games to play at a New Years Eve party.
New Years Eve is a holiday which is synonymous with alcohol
consumption. The popularity of alcohol consumption is the inspiration
for one idea for a game to play on New Years Eve. You can play a game by
giving each person a word which is likely to come up in casual
conversation and writing that word on a nametag for each person to wear
during the evening. Guests are required to carry a shot of a vodka at
all times and if another guests catches them saying the word on their
nametag they have to take their shot and then pick up another shot to
carry in case they are caught again. This game is fun because it
encourages guests to mingle as they attempt to think up ways to get
other guests to try to say their word. The game can be made more
difficult by placing the name tag on each person�s back so they cannot
see the word but other guests can. This means the guest not only has to
try to avoid saying the word but also has to figure out what the word
is. When playing this game, care should be taken to avoid the game being
the cause of the guest becoming inebriated. One way to do this is to
put a limit on the number of shots a person can consume. They can take
the sticker off once they reach their limit and the last person with a
sticker is declared the winner and may be awarded a surprise.
Games which involve dancing are also very popular on New Years
Eve. One game which is a lot of fun is similar to a game played by
children. It involves periodically stopping the music while guests are
dancing. Each time the music stops, the guests are supposed to freeze in
one position. One person is designated as the judge and each time the
music stops, the judge eliminates the last guest to freeze his position.
The last guest remaining is declared the winner of the game.
A casino night is also very popular for a New Years Eve Party.
The host can set up various tables for different games such as
blackjack, Texas hold�em, keno and other popular card games. The host
may also enlist guests to act as dealers at each of these tables. The
hosts can either be dedicated for entire night or can rotate every
couple of hours so all the guests have a chance to be both a player and a
dealer. Giving each of the guests a set amount of poker chips can make
the games even more fun, if you inform the guests they will be able to
exchange their chips at the end of the evening for raffle tickets for a
few prizes. This will encourage the guests to participate in the game
and really try their best to win at the games.
The games listed above are rather original but depending on the
size of the party, guests can also play standard board games. Trivial
pursuit, monopoly and scrabble are popular options. These games can be
played either as individuals or as teams. Additionally, they can be
played once or in a tournament style. Games such as scrabble can even
played with a holiday theme where guests are encouraged to use words
which relate to New Years Eve.
