What's the Perfect Game for a Small Group of Nice Girls?

[jcwarr]

my host for tomorrow's show just told me she wanted a game - thought she had emailed me about which she didn't she realized. i have never done a game in the 2+ years i have been a pc consultant. no one ever wants one - and i am not jazzed about doing them. so...does anyone have a really simple game or question to answer? it is going to be a small group - really nice, down to earth girls. thank you for any help -i am searching through the files but not having luck yet.
thank you! thank you! for any help!!!!!

Why not just do the Got it Love it game? The first time you touch or talk about the product the first person to holler out got it love it gets a chocolate and the one with the most chocolates wins a door prize.

How about the Pass the Tool Game or the Ticket game. They are both Q&A games.

With Pass the Tool, you give a simple door prize (SB, citrus peeler, twixit, etc.) to the first person that arrived, and then you set a timer for a couple of minutes or so. It gets passed to the next person, and if they don't have a question, they pass it on. (If the person does ask a question, it gets passed once her question has been answered). I let my guests ask questions about products, hosting, and/or the opportunity.

The ticket game is the same Q&A game, but instead of passing a tool, the guests get tickets for asking a question. At the end, you can either do a drawing (from the numbers on the tickets) or the person with the most tickets wins.

Another idea is Queen of the Shoppers or the Left/Right game.

Here is one that I play sometimes - its great in a decent crowd of 10 or more and helps get bookings since it gets a little competitive towards the end - I make comments during it as well - like the Pink question - "yes it can be your underwear - but there is NO need to prove it to me" Keep it fun -

If you're not into games, then just don't do one. I tell people who ask for a game that I do an entertaining show and find there really isn't a need or time for games. I interject funny tidbits throughout the show, so I don't see the need for games, unless you're just not a natural at getting people interested in what you're talking about. Then, they can help you break the ice a bit. But, you sound like a seasoned consultant who does successful shows, so I'd stick to your guns and just explain that you're not a "game" kind of person and see what she says.

I know this is too late, but this was a huge hit as my last show. It will go really quick, depending on the answers. Give everyone a blank index card and have them write -on the blank side - the name of an item in their kitchen that they are itching to get rid of (or can't stand). On the lined side, have them write 5 reasons why they hate it. When everyone is done, have them cross off the item name, and sub it w/ the name of thier husband, boyfriend. The one with the best answers wins.
I did this at a couples show, and it was hysterical -- especially w/ the husbands/wives there to hear the answers.
