Graduation Party Games

So you have finally graduated and to celebrate the occasion with your friends and family you have planned a party. Usually all graduation parties are the same, with people sending out invitations to their close ones, and they dropping in on the day to congratulate you, eat cake and leave a gift for you, before saying bye and leaving. If you want to make your party slightly different from this regular run-of-the-mill affair, then I suggest that you include a few interesting games in it.

Dance Partners
Play this game to get everyone to the dance floor. Start the music and have one couple come and dance on the dance floor. After a few minutes, stop the music and ask the couple to choose their new dance partners from the other people who are present at the party. Once they do that, again play the music. Continue this game till you have each and every guest on the dance floor. This game will serve as an excellent ice breaker.

Ice Cream Eaters
To play this, give each of the participants a small cup of ice cream to eat. The catch is that the participants must eat all the ice cream in the cup with their mouths, without using their hands or fingers. The one who is able to finish his ice cream the fastest is the winner and is given a prize.

Self Portraits
To play this game set up a corner where papers, crayons, pencils, pens and plain sheets of paper are placed. Each of the guests has to make their own picture and decorate it the way they want to. They have to write their names below their pictures and once they are done, the pictures are stuck to a board. Click a photograph of this board and distribute copies of it among the guests after the party. Also, at the end of the party, let the guests carry their own pictures with them so that they have something to remind themselves of this event. These games help in creating everlasting memories and hence are a must to be included.

Memory Game
This game is the easiest to play as it requires no supplies, all it takes is good memory! Start playing this game by saying something like, "I like going to parties and always carry a bottle of wine along". The person sitting next has to repeat the same sentence and add something of his own. He should say something like, "I like going to parties and always carry a bottle of wine and a bouquet of flowers along". Like this everyone has to pay attention to what others are saying and repeat it when their turn comes.

Pass the Apple
Team games are always a hit as they involve and engage each and every person present at the party. For playing pass the apple, divide the guests into two teams and ask them to form two circles. Next, hand over an apple to each of these teams. When you say start, the person who has the apple has to place it between his chin and neck. He then has to pass on this apple to the person standing next to him in the circle without using his hands. The next person too cannot use his hands and has to take the apple from him using his chin and neck only. This way apple is passed on from one participant to another till it reaches the person who had it first. The team which finishes first is the winner.

If the games such as the ones mentioned here are conducted in the right manner, they will definitely make your guests have the time of their lives at your party. So add life and fun to your party and create everlasting memories, by including such interesting and gripping games.
