New Family Games – Winter 2010

(Key: Seniors, Adults, Teens, Kids)

  • Pictureka- (S,A,T,K) This game is similar to a where’s Waldo style game. It is Pictures hidden amongst pictures. We will give teams a category and they must find as many items that fit into that category as possible, within a time limit. Ex: Find animals, the team will find pictures of animals
  • WordPlay - (S,A,T,K) 1 team member will be given an object or person, etc. All they can do is answer yes or no questions. In front of them there will be a board with three categories: Definitely, Kind of, and Not. They will also have little cards in front of that have objects, nouns, verbs. They will place the one card at a time on the board next to one of the categories. They will keep placing the cards on the categories until their team has guessed the questioned word. An example is the easiest way to explain it. Ex: You get the word “Fire Truck”. You could place the card “red” in the category “Definitely”. If your team doesn’t guess “Fire Truck” then you could place the card “big” in the “Kind Of” category. You could place the card “alive” in the “Not” category.
  • Balderdash- (S,A,T,K) A lying/bluffing game using words, acronyms, and people. Teams make up their version of what a word means, who a person is, or what tan acronym stands for. Their made up version is mixed in with the truth. Other teams have to try and figure out which of the definitions is the real one.
  • Liar Liar – (S,A,T) A Randy game. Randy will pretends he has a certain job and will give hints as people try guess what he does. Other rounds include a dictionary round where Randy gives out fake definitions to words and people have to guess the correct definition. Also there will be a round where randy passes out an object and tells you what the use of it is. Teams will have to guess if he is lying or not.
  • Make the Right Choice – (S,A,T,K) There will be groups of numbers, colors, etc. Your team will be given multiple possible answers. You will be given 4 facts, about an event, person, team, etc. You must figure out which answer the 4 facts pertains to. Ex (This team hasn’t reached the playoffs in the past ten years, This team has a bad quarterback, this is Joey Ranners favorite team) Answer: 49ers
