Party Games

***with the Right Family
	by Lennis Geikenin Montgomery, Illinois A game I play with a large or small bunch of kids, or small if I shorten the story. I change the story with the season...example Valentine's Day with the Right family I make Valentine cookies in the story, etc. Every time you say left or right you pass a wrapped package to the left or right. Put that many individually wrapped gifts in the big wrapped box for the kids playing the game and read this story. Remember to pass the packages left when left is said and right when right is said.

Video Scavenger Hunt
	by Linda Zellman For teens and adults This game requires that someone in the group be able to drive. It can be used a fundraiser. Devise a point system and judge all submissions with over a certain number of points. Charge the cost of camera rentals plus $25 as an entry fee. Get big prizes like trips or gift certificates donated for prizes. Borrow 3 or 4 video cameras. Divide into groups so each one will have a camera. They must go as a group to each location and film themselves in action. Here's a sample list: -Riding the "horsey" at a grocery store. -Doing the Macarena with a stranger. -Climbing a tree. -Meeting a firefighter and talking him/her into letting you wear a firecoat -Shaking a town official's hand -Pushing someone in a wheelchair -Interviewing a reporter at the local paper Set a time when everyone must return with their tapes. View them together and vote for the best ones.
