If you click on Files in the menu you can do a search on "games" and you will find a ton of ideas.

My new favorite is to have a gift bag with a PC product inside... typically something worth 6-15 $. I tell them what the product is worth. Then I set a timer for 9-15 (I don't tell them how long) minutes depending on how long my recipe needs to set or bake. I play the "ask me about my job" game and every time someone asks a question they get to hold the gift. When the timer goes off whichever guest has the gift gets to keep it.

typically a seasoning, measure- all cup, crinkle cutter. Things that I have either received for free or at a discount during enhancement month.

Do the ticket game - set the timer - give out tickets as folks ask about the opportunity.

I do a Deal Or No Deal game....basically I made up cards (you could use recipe cards, I just used pieces of cardstock) with items I was willing to purchase (usually less than $10). Then I hand them out and tell them not to open it. I then go through the benefits slide and then explain that if they want to host a show, they can open their card. If they choose not to, they never get to see what was inside their envelope.

The biggest trick is to get someone who is going to say Yes to ask first. Once they say yes and people see what was inside their envelope, the rest of the group is much more likely to book as well.

Also make sure your items are relatively the same. For instance I had the vege peeler in one and the bamboo spatuala set in another and I could read the dissapointment on that persons face that got the vege peeler.

Last night I did two "games". The first one I did was having everyone write down what their most hated utensil in their kitchen was. Then after folding the paper in half, write inside a couple of words or sentences as to why they hated that utensil. On the back I had them write their husbands/SO/boyfriend's name. (I got this game off that huge game file!) It was hilarious and everyone loved it!! While I was waiting for the chicken to cook in the microwave I then took a Sweet Mocha Hazelnut sprinkle and did the left/right game. That was a huge hit too!!
