Help! Still need games...
 
This is the purse game I did specificially for Stoneware... You can really change them to any product you like and use that letter to talk about something host/guest/opportunity/product/warranty related.

Once I pick a product or a type (i.e. Kitchenware, Cultery) I take a little time to figure out what I can use to fit that letter with the business. Sometimes it take longer then others :o

there's a game called right left where everytime during a poam people pass an object *your giveaway r or l then whoever ends with it gets to keep it however on my first show i did it during my whole demo b/c i didn't have any other shows lined up everytime i said "host" ie this is next month host special etc... anyways then they had to pass it i used a small spatula hth also do a search for games.. there are tons on this site
 
My DD came up with a cute idea for a game. Very original (I thought). We were at the $1 Store looking for kitchen tools (JK...had to throw that in for fun) ANYWAY, she suggested that I get some silly putty and have people mold a PC item. The guests are the judges. Just a thought.

haha :rolleyes: about the Dollar store Kitchen tools.
 
I'm not a big gamer, but I like Queen of the Shoppers... Go to files, you will find a new one for S/S 2007.
 
I love the hawaiian Vacation game...It goes great with our new theme and since it is still cold out people find it refreshing to think about warmer weather. It should be in files somewhere here since that is where I got it. I have played it at my last two shows at the beginning right after introduction.

I just downloaded that for my show here on Wednesday night. I never played that one before and it looks like it will be fun and especially since it is a new catalog all of us need to learn where things are!

I also bought some Hershey kisses (hope they last until Wednesday night) to use for "Got it, Love it!".
 
If you have bake time, a great one is to pass out various recipes and have them team up or partner up and see how many products they can use to make the recipe (they can use the wish list on the back of the receipts). The team with the most expensive recipe wins. They get incredibly competative, including soap and towels to wash hands first, etc.

That's a great idea Paige!

That's the whole idea Cori is to show how much you love what you do! Your excitement about the products and your customers love for the products are what makes your sales rocket! Let people share what they love about a product and what they use them for--when others hear that they think hey, I need that too!

I only hope I can get people half as excited as me.

Yesterday, I got my measuring cups and juicer from my friends party (thats where i met my director and signed up) . My mom went and picked them up for me. And I asked her if she opened it and checked em out and she said no. And i cant believe she didnt open it.

The first thing i did when i got my kit was rip the box open and breathe in that wonderful smell of new plastic and good stuff. Second I called my gma and and told her it was better than christmas.And I still dont think any christmas from now on will feel that good.

Sorry I get excited...
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Purse Game and how do I play it at my Pampered Chef show?

The Purse Game is a fun icebreaker activity where guests earn points based on items they have in their purses. At the beginning of the show, you can hand out a list of common items and assign point values to each. As guests check their purses, they can call out items they have, and you tally their points. The guest with the highest score wins a small prize, making it a great way to get everyone engaged and laughing!

How do I set up the Replace Your Husband game for my first show?

The Replace Your Husband game involves guests guessing the price of various Pampered Chef products. You can create a list of items and their prices, then ask guests to write down what they think each item costs. After everyone has submitted their guesses, reveal the actual prices. The guest with the closest guesses wins a prize. This game not only adds fun but also helps guests become familiar with your product offerings!

What prizes should I offer for the winners of these games?

Prizes can be simple and budget-friendly, such as Pampered Chef kitchen tools, small gift cards, or fun party favors. You could also consider offering a discount on their next purchase or a free product from your inventory. The key is to make the prizes appealing enough to encourage participation while keeping costs manageable.

How can I encourage guests to participate in these games?

To encourage participation, create a fun and relaxed atmosphere where guests feel comfortable joining in. Explain the rules clearly and emphasize that the games are meant to be lighthearted. You can also offer incentives, like extra entries into a raffle for participating in the games. Additionally, consider starting with a warm-up game to break the ice before introducing the main games.

Can I modify these games to fit my show theme?

Absolutely! Feel free to customize the games to match your show theme or the interests of your guests. For example, if your show has a cooking theme, you could include kitchen-related items in the Purse Game or use cooking-related questions for the Replace Your Husband game. Tailoring the games to your audience will enhance their experience and make your show more memorable!
