A fun birthday game

Tweet

Hey all! Forgive my delay, I will try to be here more. I thought I would share with you about the game I played at my birthday supper - It wasn't my original idea. A friend of mine played it at her birthday and , well, I always wanted to try it. For this game you need to have a larger gathering of people. Once you know the number of people, buy small gifts, the same number as guests that you;ll have. Don't pick things for certain people , since it's entirely random who will end up with what. Picking the gifts is the most fun. You can go with practical, funny, weird... imaginative. These can be anything from dollar store goods to whatever you want. My friend who played this game - for example, she had funny socks, funny sunglasses, candy bars, decor, tp (!) I came up with putting the gifts into a gallon bag. I did a taco night bag with taco holders, taco seasoning and taco shells, a big full of candy, sanitizer and wipes, post it notes and markers, a small drum, a movie night bucket with popcorn, popcorn seasoning and several candy, coasters for drinks, and a fake rubber hand, to name a few. Then you will take the number of guests you have, and print little cards with differing instructions on them. "keep your gift or trade with a person of your choosing", "Pass gifts 2 seats to the left", and also you can turn your game into an ice breaker with instructions like "trade gifts with someone who has a pet", "Trade gifts with the person who came from the farthest away", and so on... Have you ever played a version of this game? Photo: Pixabay
