Hit and Miss

Choose someone to be "it". Have them stand with their back to the group. A towel with a knot tied in it is passed from one person to another until someone throws it to "it" and hits them. "It" then turns quickly and tries to guess who hit him/her. If "it" misses, the game continues. If "it" guesses correctly, that person takes his/her place.

 

Fill in the Blank

Send one player out of the room. The other players decide on a word that has a double meaning and spelling, such as "write". When the player returns to the game the others start a conversation, substituting the word blank when they need to use the agreed-on word. The person who makes the last statement before the player guesses the word leaves the room.

 

Crazy Gifts

Ask everyone to bring a wrapped gift to the party. The gift should be something useless or of no value to the person. When each person arrives, put his name on a piece of paper and put it in a bowl. When all are present, draw two names at once. These two people are to exchange gifts. Do only two at a time so all may enjoy each gift.

 

Balance

Have someone stand with their heels against the wall. Place a coin eighteen inches in front of their toes. They are to bend over, get the coin, and stand back up, without losing their balance.
