We are having a street party and looking for ideas for group based activities (not too physical), any ideas?

Hi,





We are having a street party c 150 people and are looking to organise a couple of group based activities. Obviously ages will be span generations so the games cant really be too physically based preferably. Can anyone suggest ideas? One idea is a group based quiz....





Cheers


Pete|||With different age groups you'll need different activities...and it all depends on how you're setting up for this party. We used 2 houses' backyards to give more space. One had croquet set up...the other had a pool. Screened in porches allowed for food to be kept out of the sun, but tables were set up all over.





Maybe you can pay a teen to entertain and oversee the kiddie games (can do relay races, pile the shoes in a huge heap and run and find 1 shoe at a time and go back and tag your team member). Kids like water play--can do team game where they have to take a cup and fill empty plastic bottle carefully while someone holds it on their head while sitting down...buckets placed between "good sport" and teams for refilling. First team done wins.





Another: fill 2 tubs with water and dump 100 marbles in it (more fun when some ice cubes are added to the tubs!)...teams have to pick up as many marbles with their toes only in 30 sec or a minute.





Can have bottles of bubbles for wee ones...play balls; there's also those velcro catching mitts; kids can play kick ball....do a Pinata.





Hula hoop contests...limbo contests. You don't have to do EVERY game including all 150 people---most will just enjoy watching, eating, drinking, laughing, talking as people mingle all over the place. Can have decks of cards....and that Mexican Train Dominoes game for groups to play sitting at a table. (Having someone to help out with the kids will be the big thing).|||Water balloon tosses are always fun if you dont mind getting wet, or have a jello eating contest. A quiz would be fun. One of the things ive done before for street parties, is we seperated the girls and the guys, and asked the girls questions that are male oriented. And the guys, questions that were girl oriented. For example.


We'd ask the guys group- 'What's the name of Chanellle's new perfume??'


Or the girls- ' who is the drummer for Poison?'


Stuff like that. That may not work for you though. Our group was only about fifty strong, and we all knew eachother really well, so we laughed and laughed at the silly answers they came up with. But with that many people, they may not be comfortable doing something like that. If you have brave members, you could have a dance off, just for laughs. Get grandpa out there doing the jitterbug. xD


Or go online and search for minute to win it. They have a lot of fun simple games. :)


Its not something i can explain, you'd just have to google it and look for the game show- Minute to win it. They have a ton of games on there that are fun for parties. :)


Good luck!
