Party Games for Consultants Index


WHAT'S IN YOUR NAME
This is one of the great ice breaker party games.

Use it for your guests to get acquainted and to become relaxed.

Each guest says her name and then makes a sentence using every letter in her name.

Lots of laughs and complete and utter nonsense.

Examples:

Cathy = Cathy asked to heat yams

Marie = Marie answered Rachel in earrings

FUNNY ADJECTIVES (MADLIBS)
These funny ice breaker party games are played like the old MadLibs games we did as a kid. As guests enter the hostess's home, have them write an adjective down on a piece of paper and put it into a bowl. When it's time for the game, draw adjectives as needed.

Hello, I represent _____, the _____ company in the world. We sell the _____ products. I am very pleased to be in this _____ home tonight. We must admit, we have a _____ Hostess. Of all the groups I have ever held a show with, you are by far the _____. And once again, I want to thank our _____ Hostess for inviting me into her home this evening. I am sure by the end of the evening, you will agree I am the _____ demonstrator you have ever met. I do hope that you have such a good time tonight you will invite me into your _____ home, so that you can receive some of our _____ merchandise free, too. now I will continue with our demonstration because afterwards, our _____ Hostess will be serving some _____ refreshments.

EASY ADDING GAME
The following fun ice breaker party games are poems. Give each guest an index card and have her keep score while you are reading the poem. Highest score wins a prize.

Do You Have a Party Plan Theme Book? If you're a direct sales distributor who does in home shows, you need a theme book to add spice to your parties & an incentive for guests to book a show! By creating your own theme party book, custimized with the parties you choose to offer, you can do both. Leave your theme book on the coffee table before your show, and guests will flip through it, finding a theme that matches their personality. Then they'll be even more excited about dating a party with you! Create Your Own Theme Book

This little game is easy to do,
You just add figures like 2 plus 2.
Multiply, subtract, or divide, more and more,
There is a prize for the highest score.
I wonder who came here from afar,
Give yourself 5 if you came by car.
Were you on time? Not a minute late?
Punctuality pays, so give yourself 8.
Glasses are 9 more when they are on you,
10 points more if your eyes are blue.
Score yourself 5 if you show any pink,
But take away 10 if you left dishes in the sink.
Count all your buttons, each gives you 1,
Except if they're white, and then you get none.
Each bow is 1 point, but safety pins are taboo,
So for each one you're wearing, take away 2.
Open toe shoes are quite fine,
So, give yourself 10 if you are wearing that kind.
Now here's a chance to score you better,
Add 6 points if you're wearing a sweater.
1 Point for each year that you have been wed,
But take away 5 if your hair is red.
Now daughters are sweet, and on that we agree,
So for each one you have you may now add 3.
But when adding up points, boys are worth more,
So, for each one of your sons, go ahead and add 4.
If you kissed your husband or boyfriend today, add 12,
But into your personal life I must delve
If you kissed them both you must subtract 20,
Because you're in trouble and trouble aplenty.
Now that's all there is, so total your score,
(Except if you're a special friend, there's more.)
Its a 50 point bonus for a V.I.P.
If you'll be a hostess for (YOUR COMPANY) and me!

FEMININITY GAME
Another of the ice breaker party games poems. This one is similar to the one above, and played the same way.

This is a most unusual game,
It really doesn't have a name
Its as simple as a game can be,
Just listen and add your total and you will see
You're fashionable and you live in a whirl,
Give yourself 10 points if you're wearing a pearl
Give yourself 10 if your toes are peeking out,
And earrings will give you another 10 to count
Add 10 points if you're wearing red,
And another 10 if there's gray on your head
Now count those buttons, for each you get 3,
And another 10 if you're showing your knee
Oh Boy! Now for the big Hooray!
15 points if you kissed a man today!
Stop and listen, here's a stunner,
Subtract 3 points if you have a runner (in your nylons)
So you think you're going to win?
Take away 3 for that safety pin
If you cooked a mean and not heated soup,
You earn 10 points and a merry WHOOP!
Attended church on Sunday? Gee that's fine!
Give yourself another 9
This game has ended, now wasn't that fun?
Add up your score and see who won!

Have each guest introduce themselves to someone they do not know, or do not know well. At the very least, make sure you do not pair up family members.

WANT AD GAME
Hysterical ice breaker party games! Have guests pick something in their house that they would like to sell and write a want ad for it.

When everybody has finished writing, ask each guest to read what she has written , but to substitute her husband or boyfriends name for it instead.

Or, have them list a piece of furniture.

Then, have them list five reasons why they like and dislike the item.

After everyone is done writing, say, "the household item that you have written down, I want you to cross it out and replace it with your husband or boyfriend's name."

When they say the sentence they must say: I want to replace (name of husband/boyfriend) because he is....................... and list their reasons. It's a fun game and everyone loves it. The one that has the most outlandish answers wins.


DEMO AN ITEM
Some ice breaker party games get your guests moving- literally. Print up several of the following lists of instructions, varying the order of all numbers. In other words, Sing Mary Had a Little Lamb might be #1 on one list but #3 on another.

Pass a list to each guest & tell her to do each action on her list in the order in which it is listed.

2. Say your name loudly

Pass out the song titles, one to each guest and tell them they must hum their song while they search for the other guest that is humming the same song. Winners are the two guests that find each other first.

MUSICAL HATS
This of the ice breaker party games is a variation of musical chairs. Bring several hats with you to the party. This can be any type of hat, including paper hats. Have enough for each guest. Stand your guests in a circle. Give each guest except one a hat.

When the music starts, the guest without a hat will take the hat off the head of the lady to her left, who will then take the hat off the head of the lady to her left, and so on, until the music stops. When the music stops, the guest without a hat sits down, taking someone else's hat with her. Start the game again, and continue until only one person is left.


LAP SITTING GAME
Ice breaker party games can be a lot of fun to play at direct sales home parties. This one is another that guests seem to love. Ask these statements to the guests. When a person can answer yes to a question, that person moves to the next seat on their right. The first person that gets back to their original seat wins. By the way...there will be several sitting on laps...even 4 at a time. Have Fun!!

These party games for consultants are in the public domain, meaning they have been used by countless stay at home mom businesses for decades, yet no one really knows who originally came up with them all. Do as I have done, and alter them to fit your ice breaker party games needs.
