The celebration game

Would you like to make someone's year end special by gifting them something? And in return get gifts? Then this game is for you. In the process, you can have some fun too.

Prep work

Gather your friends and family together virtually for this game that requires pretty much nothing but paper and pen to start with. Before you start the game, make a list of the names of participants and assign numbers to each one of them, say between one and ten based on the number of participants. Tell them that this is a week-long game, and collect their home address.

Rules of the game

Keep the list of friends ready with you. If you are the person in charge of the names and addresses, you have to sit out of the game and be the referee. Now, each person takes their turn and calls out a number between one and ten. The referee secretly tells them the name of the person they have picked as well as their address. Once everyone has called out their numbers, explain the rules to them. The person each one has picked is the one they will have to gift something to. This is their child, and they are the 'Mother. Each day, the mother will secretly assign a fun task such as crying like a baby or snorting like a pig, or dancing like a robot, to the child through the referee. And the child has to perform the task, record the same and send it back to the referee, who will then play it for the group at a particular time each day. The tasks are sure to bring tears of laughter to the participants. Mothers have to ensure their gifts reach their respective children by the end of the week. At the end of the week, everyone gathers together virtually and each child takes a guess as to who their mother is based on the tasks they were assigned and the gift they were sent. The referee can get gifts too for his or her efforts.

Let's share stories

Use your imagination and bring out the storyteller in you with this fun game that can be played by two people, but the more the merrier. A little prep work is required before starting the game.

Prep work

Write down random words in chits of paper. Try and make as many chits as you can to make the game interesting. You could also repeat some of the words if you like.

Rules of the game

If there are more than two players, divide yourselves into as many teams as you like. Next, shuffle the chits and put them on the floor. Each team has to pick up ten chits (change the number based on the number of players and teams). Once everyone has picked the chits, set the timer to five minutes. In these five minutes, each team will have to come up with a story that uses all the words in the chits they have picked up. Sit back and enjoy listening to some funny stories.
