Fun game ideas for graduation parties




















Purchase a pack of stickers. This one is a great Christmas party game or Halloween party game, so try to find stickers that suit the occasion. Give everyone one sheet of five to ten stickers or less, depending on the size of the party. This game works best in a party where everyone is mingling, so you can incorporate it easily into your happy hour or neighborhood function.

Each person must discretely place all their stickers on other party guests; the first to use all their stickers wins. If they get caught stickering someone, they must accept a sticker. At the end of the evening, you can laugh about how sneaky some people are—and wonder at how you ended up with stickers all over your back without even noticing.

Place chairs in a circle, using one less than needed. Have everyone take a seat; the one person without a seat must stand in the center of the circle. They'll say, "Mail Call for everyone…" and pick a descriptor, such as "wearing red" or "has a cat. Everyone that descriptor applies to must get up and find a new seat, without retaking their initial seat or moving to the seats next to them.

The person in the middle will also be racing for a chair; whoever is left standing at the end stands in the circle next, and the game continues. Find a deck of cards and a set of spoons.

Pieces of candy also work. Have enough for each player, minus one. Deal four cards to each person playing. One person, the dealer, will keep the remaining deck next to them and draw one card at a time. They will look at the card and trade it out for a card in their hand or pass it along to the person next to them, who will do the same thing. The goal is to collect four of the same card; when that happens, reach for a spoon.

When someone spots a spoon missing, they, too, can grab one; whoever is left without a prize at the end is out. Remove one more spoon and play again. Alternatively, play by sticking out your tongue when you've collected four of a kind: If others notice, they can stick out their tongues, too; whoever notices last loses. Pick a phone to pass around the group. Set it to self-timer mode—10 seconds is best—and use regular photo mode, not selfie mode. Pass the phone around, with each person holding the phone up for a moment, posing for the camera.

Pass until the photo is taken, then repeat. At the end, take a look at the probably undignified photos. This is a trickier take on I'm Hosting a Party. Sit in a circle and designate yourself the host. Just don't tell everyone the name of the game. Say you are hosting a party, but only people bringing the right items will be invited. Go around the circle and have everyone suggest contributions; the host will say who is invited and who isn't.

Instead of basing the invite on what they're bringing, though, base it on their posture: Whoever has their legs crossed can come, and whoever doesn't can't, for example.

Continue until everyone figures it out. Say you're describing your perfect world: "In my perfect world, there are doors but no windows. Your perfect world has only double letter items: Schools but not universities, for example, or apples but not bananas. If someone gets it right, say, "Yes, that would be in my perfect world. Continue around the circle until everyone figures it out. This tried-and-true party game can be as simple or as complicated as you make it. Have everyone write down concepts, movies, people, shows, and more to act out and divide into teams.

One person will act out something drawn from the assortment while their team members guess what it is. When time is up, switch teams and repeat.

Add time limits, scoring systems, silence rules, and more as desired. Pick one person to go first. That person will think of an item, animal, movie, public figure, etc. Everyone else will ask yes or no questions about what or who they are; they have 20 chances to guess, or the other person wins. Difficulty Activity Level.

How To Play: Choose five to ten destinations your graduate would like to travel to. Use the tape and marker to label each bucket with those destinations. Place the buckets in a fun shape, like a pyramid or circle, and tape a line about 10 feet away from the buckets.

Separate the players into two teams with different colored ping pong balls. Use a timer to give them a set amount of time to make their shots. To make it interesting, assign each bucket with different scores. The team with the highest score wins! Materials: large canvas or corkboard, balloons, five to ten watercolors, water, darts, thumbtacks. How To Play: Mix water with different watercolor mixtures.

Fill balloons with various colors and pin them to the board. Have participants stand ten feet away with a maximum number of three to five darts. Materials: square piece of fabric, duct tape, ten graduation caps two colors. How To Play: Place the fabric on the floor and create a grid using the duct tape. Divide players into two teams and assign a graduation cap color. Each player gets a turn tossing a cap. First team to connect three graduation caps wins. How To Play: Separate all players into two equal teams and give them each one straw.

Have each team stand in two straight lines facing each other. If the tassel is dropped, the team must start again from the front of the line. The team who reaches the end first wins. How To Play: We recommend playing this game outdoors. Fill ten disposable cups with water and line them up at the edge of the table. Players will stand 10 to 15 feet away, ranked by age, and throw the foam balls to knock down all cups. Use the timer to record which team knocked down all the cups the fastest. How To Play: This game is played in teams of two.

Make sure all balloons are filled as full possible and give each team their own balloon. Players have to face away from each other and hold the balloon between their lower backs. When the music starts, both players have to slowly dance their way to the floor without popping the balloon. The team who lasts the longest wins without popping their balloon wins. Materials: two small empty tissue boxes, ping pong balls, two velcro waistbands, hot glue gun, music.

How To Play: A day before the game, attach a tissue box to the middle of each waistband using a hot glue gun and fill each box with ping pong balls. Divide players into two teams.

Have one player from each team wear the waistband with the tissue box behind their back. This list of active outdoor graduation party games will make even your most competitive guest happy! Sometimes it takes more than a few games to keep the kids at your party entertained. If you are going to have a lot of little ones at your party, then consider choosing a few of these activities to go along with your games to keep the party going all day long! Every parent will love you for keeping their child entertained and wearing them out before you send them home!

Hiring a Caricaturist for your graduation party is not only fun, but it gives your guests a gift they can cherish forever! Entertain the kids at your graduation party for hours on end with a professional magician! They will leave the party wanting to learn all of the tricks! Have a lot of family coming in from out of town or a lot of good friends who will want to party the night away?

Consider these ideas for entertaining older party guests! Your graduate will love having everyone stick around and your guests will remember your party forever!

Whether you just want a few background tunes or you know you have a lot of dancers, hiring a DJ is a top-notch choice for your graduation party! Really get your guests engaged in a night of LIVE karaoke!

Use chalkboard-faced, removable vinyl decals that can be arranged on walls to create varying sizes of chalkboards. Toss some chalk into the mix and watch your grads write messages, doodle and maybe even look back fondly on their days in the classroom. Spraypaint a giant Twister board on the lawn or create a human version of tic tac toe. Paint a checkerboard and give players red and black T-shirts to wear as they represent the pieces.

Hang them on a wall and set up a nearby table with markers and blank tagline cards they can fill in and tape beneath the pics. With just a few of these prompts, guests are sure to come up with plenty of silly superlatives of their own. Whatever the reason, you can bring the same kind of enchantment to your graduation party with a nighttime release of floating lanterns.

Add some sentiment by having each classmate say something special favorite high school memory, a wish for the future, etc.

Not every party will have the open space required for floating lanterns. However, the same sentimental activity can be done with balloons. Have the graduates write their wishes on the balloons with markers and then set them free. For the graduate with a case of wanderlust, add a travel theme. Set up stations dedicated to possible travel locations.

Decorate each station in a manner that reflects the culture of the region, and serve foods that are commonly eaten there. Tape a large map to one of the walls in your party room. Have all of the grads sign their names or pin pictures of themselves at the places on the map that they will next visit, where they will attend college, or where they wish to see someday. The years went by too quickly, no doubt. That "first day of preschool" picture feels like it was taken just yesterday.

Chances are you have photos from every first day of school that followed, too. To create a sentimental party decoration, print all of those first day images. Then, hang a clothesline in the party room and turn those memories into a hanging timeline of your graduate through the years.

Decorate everything in the school colors. Invite guests to come dressed in them and even tailor your menu to feature foods that match the color scheme. If your graduating senior was into sports or a member of the cheerleading squad, you could throw your graduation party in the style of a tailgate party. Have guests decorate their cars, pop their trunks and enjoy outdoor grilled or picnic foods as they hop from tailgate to tailgate.

Take the class picture and have it enlarged, and then paste it to a poster board.
