Party Games Ideas For Any Age

If you are planning a party for any age, party games are

a great way for people to get to know each other and get

the party going.  This is true for little children and

adults.  Party games can be as simple as a game of

charades which requires no props, or as complex as a

murder mystery game complete with costumes.

Some of the great games have been popular for years and

children still love them. Most of us remember pin the tail

on the donkey, musical chairs, and hide-and-seek. To make

it all the more fun, have some little prizes or bags of

treats on hand.

As children turn into teenagers, it can become more

difficult to find fun party games to keep them out of

trouble.  Board games like Cranium are great for groups

of teens and it lets everyone have a chance to play since

it requires various talents, everything from acting skills

to spelling.  Dance-offs are also a fun way for kids to

show off and have fun with their peers

Back in the 1970s board games for adults were very

popular at parties.  In the past several years a new

generation of adults are enjoying fun party board

games.  Many board games are great for large groups

and are a great way to get people chatting and laughing.

As mentioned before, a great new board game for adults

is Cranium.  Cranium is a fun and hilarious game that

combines several different varieties of games.  It

consists of word puzzles, charades, Pictionary, spelling,

and many other fun tasks that make this game perfect

for a diverse group of people.  Cranium is a guaranteed

icebreaker and everyone is sure to have a blast.

Drinking games are fun at some adult parties. There are a

number of them played with only cards or dice, but some

companies are re-introducing their best selling board games

from the 1960s and 1970s. To keep from being bored, look

for games than require more skill than just being able to

drink. If you choose to play any drinking games, have

designated drivers lined up or plan to house overnight

guests.

Poker has always been a favorite, but nowadays it's hotter

than ever. Recently poker competitions and those played by

celebrities are being shown on TV and are becoming popular

viewing fare. The favorite is Texas Hold ~Em and it's

actually pretty easy to learn. If you decide to place some

money bets, be sure you know what you~re doing so you won't

lose all your cash.

Games are the perfect way to break the ice and get

everyone talking.  This is true for any age.  Be sure to

have some fun games on hand for your next party.
