Things That Begin With “T”

List everything in your kitchen beginning with the letter “T”, and anyone who writes Tupperware gets an extra point.


Treasure Hunt

My favorite all-time game is the treasure hunt because unless a person is blind, everyone can play and it’s fun because every time we get a new catalog you get to make up a new game. You find items (not TW) that are in the pictures surrounding our products, e.g., I would call out “whole cloves” (in the orange on page 8), or car key on page 28, and whoever calls out the page number first gets to pick a goodie from my prizes, and so on. I do specify that we allow cheating in this game so after you get 2 prizes you have to help somebody else. That way if grandma forgot her glasses, someone can help her. I’ve gone to subsequent parties where they tell me they memorized the catalog so they could win next time. I try to make 2 lists to use for the same groups so nobody has an advantage and I try to select items that are only found on 1 or 2 pages in the catalog so it takes awhile to find the least obvious items but it’s worth it. Many times I’ve had to say “I didn’t say this was going to be easy” and everyone laughs.

Smidget-Grocery Bag Game

Give everyone a smidget and a plastic grocery bag. Say go, and everyone has to get the bag completely inside the smidget and lid closed (no sides hanging out). It really does fit! The person to do it the soonest gets a game goodie gift! Everybody gets a kick out of it, and as mentioned, keep it in your car for diapers, yard sales, sandy clothes from the beach, etc...

Salesperson Game
Before the party, randomly place some product description cards in the guests' party folders. These can be ones you made yourself, or you can just use the little pamphlets that came with your products.

Then, just as you begin your talk, ask everyone to check in their party folder to see if they're one of the lucky guests who could be eligible to win a prize by taking over your job for 60 seconds.

Tell them to take notice of "their" item, and if at any time during your spiel they hear you mention the name of their item, they can take over for you for 60 seconds by reading to the other guests the product description. If you make them up yourself, be sure to have some great examples of the uses of the product. Tell them that you have a special treat for anyone who participates.

Have a timer ready, and get ready to see some action. Guests will usually do anything for a prize, even if it's a orange peeler or something small like that. You'll find that you have some guests who will quietly read their card and then there will be others who really get into it and will act out the uses of the product to get a few laughs from the other guests.

This game was great fun! And the best part was that I got little breaks here and there throughout my demo, which I could then use to take a breather and clean up or get ready for my next demo.

Plan Your Own Party

Ask everyone to write down their favorite dessert, their favorite beverage and as many people as they can think of that lives within 30 minutes of their home. Give the guests two minutes to do this. Then tell them they just planned their own TW party in 2 minutes. Give a gift to the one that matches your dessert (or the hostess's favorites) and the one with the most guests on their list.

[TupperGal]

Pay Attention!

Have your hostess get a tray and place 10 items on it. (game goodies). Then have her walk around in front of all the guests with the tray. Then have the hostess leave the room and stay gone.

Ask the guests to number a paper 1-10. Then ask the following questions:

What color shirt was the hostess wearing?
Did it have buttons?
Is she wearing jewelry?
Are her ears pierced?
Do her shoes tie?
What color pants is she wearing?
Is she wearing a belt?
What color are her eyes?
Does she have anything in hair (barrettes, rubber band, comb, etc)?
Are her fingernails painted?

Have the hostess come back in; and go over answers. Person with most answers wins a gift!

Party Bucks

Your can create party bucks where your guests earn the bucks. In this game, your guest will find items in their purse or wallet that start with the letters of Your Business. Call out the letters, one letter at a time. The first person to find an item that matches the letter you call out, will earn a "party buck". At the end of the game, total up the bucks. The person with the most party bucks wins a prize.

Musical Tupperware

The game that I like (even though it’s an older one) is the spin on musical chairs, but you pass your wrapped gift around and around as the music plays. (Your gift will be pre-wrapped a bunch of times, like 9!!) When the music stops the person holding it unwraps a layer. Keep doing this until the TW gift is completely unwrapped and that person wins the gift. Most guests expect the gift to be wrapped 3-4 times but start to giggle and wonder how many times you’ve actually wrapped it after a few rounds

Memory Game

Put several different Tupperware items out on a table with a covering over it. When you take the covering off give the guests about 1 minute to look everything over then re-cover it. Then they have about 3 minutes to write down as many things as possible. Usually 15-20 items is a good rule of thumb. You can then work these things into your presentation too.

The Letter Game

My favorite game to play is the letter game. I printed letters in large font on pieces of paper. Each letter stands for something I am going to talk about/demonstrate. For example: “T” is for Tupperware - talk about the company; “S” is for Storage - talk about Modular Mates, Forget-Me-Nots, other storage items; “E” is for Entertaining - talk about the Open House collection; or the Sheerly Elegant; “P” is for Preparation - talk about the ThatsaBowl, Mix n Pour, etc.; “F” is for Freshness - talk about FridgeSmart, etc; “B” is for Booking your own party; “H” is for Hostess Gifts; whatever else you come up with, but I stick to about 7 or 8 so it doesn’t get too long.
I start by telling everyone to keep their purse handy... as I show each letter, the first person to find something in their purse that starts with that letter gets a TupperBuck (which I made on my computer) or a tiny treasure if I can’t find my TupperBucks. I start with “T” for Tupperware, talk about the company and why I joined, then go on to the next letter, talk about that point, then the next and so on. It moves the party along, and keeps everyones attention - they are waiting for the next letter. Whoever has the most TupperBucks or tiny treasures at the end, gets a bigger gift, and everyone goes home with a tiny treasure just for playing.

Draw Your House

Everyone have a sheet of paper and a pen? Ok, everyone close your eyes and keep them closed until I tell you to open them. No peeking because I’ll be watching.

First, draw a picture of your house.
Then draw a tree by your house
Every house needs a flower garden so draw some flowers
Draw a birdhouse in the tree
It is night in our picture, and there is a moon out, so draw a moon in your sky.
For our new fruit pattern we are going to put some fruit in our tree
Draw a pear, then draw a peach, and a bunch of grapes. You know grapes come in a bunch so draw a lot of little circles for the bunch.
Now draw a candle in the window. You do have windows in your house, don’t you?
The tree is an apple tree, so it needs some apples in the tree
And in one of the apples is a worm, draw it sticking it’s head out of an apple
Draw a bird in your picture because birds like worms.
Now sign your picture and you are done.
You can now open your eyes.

Let’s add up the points for our picture.
5 points if the house is bigger than your hand
10 points if the tree is on the right side of the house
-5 points if the tree is touching the house or in the house
10 points if you drew a chimney on your house
10 points if the birdhouse is touching any part of the tree
5 points for every flower you drew in your garden
5 points for every piece of fruit that touched your tree . Grapes count as 1 fruit, so do not count each grape
5 points for each apple you drew
25 points if your worm is actually touching your apple
10 points if you drew a crescent moon
25 points if you drew a full moon
10 points if you drew a beak on your bird, he needs one to eat the worm!
10 points if the window touched the house
10 points if you have a door
25 points if you have a doorknob, you did want to be able to get in, didn’t you?
10 points if the candle touched the window
25 points if you signed your first and last name
25 extra points if you signed your middle name or initial
25 points if you signed your name in the bottom right corner

Crazy?

For this game you will need two small baskets.

Pass out slips of paper to each guest. Have each guest write down something their significant other does that drives them crazy, and make sure they put "if" in front of the statement. For example, if he wants to watch football all weekend...if he doesn't squeeze the tube of toothpaste right...if he burns the toast, etc. Put those in one basket.

Now pass out another slip of paper to each guest. Have each guest write down a solution to any problem. For example, turn off the TV...shut the outside light off...lock the door, etc. Put these in a separate basket. Now ask someone to choose from the first basket, and have that same person choose a remedy from the second basket, and read the two out loud as one statement. For example, if you burn the toast...lock the door.

This game is a great icebreaker.
