Not really a theme show as such, but I offered an Ugly Spoon competition to a host in a couple of weeks - and I haven't a clue what I am talking about. Has anyone done this? Do I decide which is the ugliest? Do the other guests decide? Should there be a list of criteria? Help!!! :confused: It seemed like a good idea when I suggested it! I tried the Right Left game at the show this host booked from, and that went down well, but I wanted to do something else. I've picked up some great ideas from this site, so I know you girls won't let me down on this one. Can't wait to do my next Chocoholics show so that I can use the Chocolate Quiz!
Cheers.

What is the Right Left game? Also, can you e-mail me a copy of the Chocolate quiz? I have a chocolate show coming up and this sounds like something I could use. Thanks.
 
Here are a bunch!

Everyone loves games!Wow!! Thanks for sharing Janel!! :D What a great resource!

Yvonne - That sounds like a good game to play. I think all the guests should vote. Maybe catch the guests as they are coming in and have them gove you their spoon they brought for the contest. Give that spoon a number. When everyone has arrived, lay out the numbered spoons somewhere. At a time you designate for guests to vote. have them write down the number of the spoon they think is the ugliest and drop all votes in a hat. Tell them not to vote for there own. Ofcourse there is no way you culd tell, unless every singe vote was for one :rolleyes: you'll just have to assume they will play fair I guess. Count the votes and give the winner a small gift like a Seasons Best Cookbook or maybe even a new spoon!! Have fun! Hope that helps!

Chocolate QuizHi Yvonne.

What is the Chocolate quiz about? I'm assuming you have some interesting facts and try and see how much everyone knows?

Could you post the details, please.

I have a chocolate show coming up and I think it would be fun to use this.

Thanks.

Well, I can't take credit for those games. I got them from everyone else and other websites also. So thanks to everyone for all the ideas! Its great that we can all help each other out. I can try to find some more if you want me to post them.

I also can't wait to find out about everything from conference since I couldn't go. We have a clusterr meeting next wednesday and I can hardly wait!
 
I don't know if this is the quiz you all are looking for. I know there is one on this website that has pictures of candy bars and you have to guess which one is which. Its really cute. I believe its under "PC Files"

Chocolate QuizJanel - that is the quiz I was talking about and thanks for all those games! Wow! Another tip I have picked up from this site at some point which I am going to try at the same show is to have some latex balloons, each with a slip of paper inside with a small gift written on it. I will ask anyone interested in having a show to blow up and then pop a balloon to see what they have won! Will let you know how it goes.
 
ThanksThanks Janel.

I am going to use this for my chocolate party coming up .
