Party Games

Materials: You will need Several pieces of silverware or short wooden sticks (e.g. matchsticks) ]Directions Tell members of the group that you are going to use sticks/silverware/etc. to recreate an ancient number system. It is their goal to figure out how the system works. Place several sticks or pieces of silverware in a formation on the table. Unknown to the participants, the number will always be the number of fingers you have placed discretely on the table. If a participant thinks he or she knows the pattern, ask him of her or to give an example rather than stating the answer so that other participants can continue to play.

Assassin/Spy Games Materials pen and paper Set Up · Rip up the piece of paper into enough pieces for each player. · Mark an X on one piece. · Fold all of the pieces up and pass them out to each player. Directions The player that receives the X is the Assassin or Spy. Players sit in a circle so that each player can see the other players' faces. The Assassin/Spy must look around and discreetly wink or raise his eyebrow at another player. The player that receives the wink is the victim. The victim must then yell out "I'm hit" or "I’m caught!" (With drama and moaning of course!) and that player falls out of the game. The player that sees the Assassin/Spy winking at another player "catches" the Assassin/Spy, and wins the game. If the Assassin/Spy is able to successfully eliminate the the players to the point that there is only one left, the Assassin/Spy wins.

Black Majic

Directions Two “Magicians” lead this activity for the group. The objective is for the group to figure out how they do their magic. Both Magicians must know the trick behind the activity in order to make magic happen. Introduce the activity by name – Black Magic and explain that one Magician will guess a secret object in the room selected by the group. One Magician leaves the room. While that person is out of the room, the group selects an object in site and points it out to the Magician remaining in the room. When the person reenters the room, the Magician who remained asks him or her a series of questions – “Is the object the candle on the table?” Is the object the chair? Is the object the cat?” The Magician continues to ask questions, naming objects in the room. At some point, the Magician names an object black in color. The selected object is always the object directly following the named black object. If a participant thinks he or she knows the pattern, ask him of her or to give an example rather than stating the answer so that other participants can continue to play.

Elephants In Denmark Directions Tell the group you can read their minds. Then follow the steps to prove it. · 1: ask each person to think of a number from 1 to 10. · 2: take that number and multiply by 9 · 3: take the result and add the number together (i.e. 72 = 7+2, 9 = 0+9). · 4: take that number and subtract 5 · 5: take that result and equate it to the corresponding letter of the alphabet (i.e., 4 = D). · 6: think of a country beginning with that letter. · 7: Ask them to think of an animal that begins with the second letter of the country name. · 8: Ask the group: "How many people are thinking of elephants in Denmark?" This exercise works because any number they think of for step 1, will result in the answer of 9 for step 3. From that point on, the country will begin with D (there are only 4 countries that start with D - Denmark, Dominica, Dominican Republic and Djibouti - and the majority of the group is likely to think of Denmark). There are many animals that start with E but Elephants are the most likely guess.

Alternatives Know your audience. If your are leading this at a conference on Africa, or you suspect that your group is more likely to think of Djibouti than Denmark - then don't guess Denmark.

Snaps

Directions This is in the vein of the game Black Magic but requires a bit more showmanship and is a lot harder. The object is to break a secret code communicating a word to the group. It's best if at least one of the group is "in the know" to model the system while everyone else tries to figure it out. The system works by spelling out the letters of the word with a simple substitutions. Vowels are the easiest being replaced with a number of snaps relative to it's order in the alphabet. One "snap" for A, two "snaps" for E, three for I and so on. The consonants are a little more creative. A phrase will stand in for each letter of the secret word and the first letter of the phrase indicates the letter used. An example for the word "WORD" W- Will you be ready to guess. O- Snap, snap, snap, snap. R- Really easy now. D- Do you know the answer. Guesser yells out the word "WORD" The most fun is to make it sound to the rest of the group like the games just beginning when the person guesses and the round is now over. They will think it's just random answers but this can be proven by writing the answer down first and then showing they got it right. Slight pauses between phrases help listeners discern each letter clue.

Take as much as you need

You will need:A bag of candy (e.g. M&M’s or Skittles) or roll of toilet paper Directions Form the group into a circle. Without telling them any of the details of the activity, pass around the bag of candy or roll of toilet paper and tell them to "take as much as you need." Once everyone has taken some, ask them to tell one fact about themselves for every piece of candy. Variations When using M&M’s or Skittles assign a specific question to each color of candy. e.g. Red - Childhood memory, Orange - Irrational fear, Yellow - Favorite places, Green - Favorite books/albums/TV shows/movies, Purple - Pet peeve You could also use this as a reflection activity and have each participant share one thing they learned or one thing they are going to do different for each piece of candy
