Chanukah Party Game?

APushetaYid,

Kids (and ages)? Adults?

The Wolf

My family once had everyone (adults and kids) bring in a small gift, not wrapped, valued between $1 and $5. We divided into groups of about 10, with one person holding a bag of small items.

The person holding the bag would call out two letters, say A and T, and then pull out a gift. The first person who could come up with a reasonable name for the object using words made with those two letters got to keep the gift.

For example, if the person pulled out a small doll, one could say “adorable toddler” etc.

LiLIsraeli, sounds like fun

I created a chanuka bingo – with pictures so all ages can play. Great fun.

estherh, we did that once using pictures of family members, one of the more talented among us scanned them in and made the board. Then we had hints. Like which one lives in California? Which one has the longest name? etc… The adults and kids really enjoyed.

My friend once took pictures, cut out the noses of diff family members attending the party and enlarged it. By the Chanukah party everyone had to guess whose nose was whose. She said it was a hit!!!

Pin the colored shirt on the bochur.

GOODY,

Gotta be Bananagrams.

My family invented a new fast paced draidel game that’s loads of fun.

You will need a lot of draidels for this. Here’s how it goes:

Each player gets 5 draidels. On go you start spinning all 5 draidels , and you cannot allow more than 2 draidels to be down at once. As one falls or starts slowing down you have to pick it up and respin it to keep it going. Who ever keeps it going longest wins,

Another version is to spin as many draidels at once as possible-as soon as one falls you stop and count how many you had going at once. Who ever gets the most wins.
