I went to a MK party a few months ago as a favor to my mother and the consultant played a game where we wrote 5 names with numbers down of those we know who wear makeup. I'm thinking that tonight I will have the guests turn over their wish lists and write down the names & numbers of 5 people (men/women) who love to cook. What do you guys think? I'm wondering if I could get any possible bookings/new customers out of this!
 
see a thread a few days ago I do a similar thing but I do not take their names....
 
the thread is how many guest packets

I say Go For It!

I've seen something similar where you write down:

5 people you know who aren't here tonight
5 people you know who love to cook
Do you like dessert or appetizers better?
Write down the night of the week that is least busy for you
What one item in the catalog would you like to see go on sale?


and it seems like there are a couple more questions too....then, you can tell everyone that they have done the hardest work for hosting. They have:

Started their guest list
Chosen a Party Theme
Chosen a day of the week for their party
Chosen one item they can get for free of half-off!
 
That is pretty cool...will try it at my next show!
 
You said this is a 'game' . . . do you give a prize, and if so, what?

I'm thinking maybe anyone who answers all the questions and books a show gets something free when the show is submitted?

I typically give SB for all my prizes...sometimes the peelers, clips...small stuff.

Yes, but how would you determine who 'wins?'
 
I don't know that I would consider this a game or call it that.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some fun game ideas to engage guests at my Pampered Chef show?

Consider playing a "Kitchen Bingo" game where you create bingo cards with Pampered Chef products and guests mark off items as they see them demonstrated. Another idea is a "Guess the Price" game where guests guess the prices of various products, with a small prize for the closest guess.

How can I incorporate a cooking challenge into my show?

You can set up a mini cooking challenge where guests are divided into teams and given a few ingredients to create a dish using Pampered Chef tools. Set a timer and have everyone present their creations for a fun and interactive experience.

Is it effective to use trivia questions about Pampered Chef products?

Absolutely! Creating a trivia game with questions about Pampered Chef history, products, and cooking tips can be both educational and entertaining. Offer small prizes for correct answers to encourage participation.

What prizes should I offer for game winners?

Consider offering Pampered Chef products, gift certificates, or even a discount on their next purchase as prizes. Small kitchen gadgets or recipe books can also be appealing and encourage guests to engage more in the games.

How can I keep the energy up during the games?

To maintain high energy, play upbeat music in the background and encourage laughter and friendly competition. Be enthusiastic yourself and engage with the guests, cheering them on and celebrating their efforts throughout the games.
