When they are done filling out their forms, read one name for each letter. The person who matches the most wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Word Game


Give guests a piece of paper and tell them to write YOUR COMPANIES NAME at the top of their paper. Tell them they are going to make as many words as the can in 2 minutes. There is one catch though: You cannot use 2 or 3 letter words.


The Betty Boop Game

When you mention Betty, part of the group stands up and says: Boop-Boop-De-Do.


When you mention Popeye, that part of the group stands up and says: Well, blow me down!


When you mention the word Wolf, that part of the group stands up and says: Grrrrrrr, Grrrrrrr. (In a rough voice)


Divide guests into three groups and tell them what to do:


Then Read:


Once upon a time there was a charming young lady named Betty who was loved by a sailor called Popeye. Betty lived in a great forest in which there roamed a big Wolf. One day Betty decided to visit her grandmother who lived in the heart of the forest. Popeye urged Betty not to into the forest where the Wolf lived, but Betty would not let Popeye accompany her, and she wanted to go alone. I'm not afraid of the big bad Wolf, said Betty, as she started out with her basket on her arm, but when she entered the forest and saw the eyes of the Wolf gleaming at her behind a tree, she was sorry Popeye was not with her. The Wolf followed Betty step by step getting closer and closer and behind him came Popeye. Just as the Wolf was about to spring on Betty, Popeye felled him with his trusty club and saved Betty's life. Popeye, My hero, you have killed the Wolf and saved my life, said Betty as she fell fainting in his arms. Thus ends the story of Popeye, Betty-Boop, and the big, bad Wolf.



Adjective Game

(Like Mad Libsฎ)


Have guests give you 10 adjectives and then fill in the blanks.


Hello,


I represent YOUR COMPANY NAME , the _________ company in the world. We sell the ___________ products. I am pleased to be in this _____________ home today. We must admit we have a _____________ hostess. Of all the groups I have ever held a presentation for you by far the ____________. And once again I want to thank our _____________ hostess for inviting me into her home this evening. I am sure by the end of the evening you will agree I am the ________________ sales person you have ever met. I do hope that you have such a good time that you will invite me into your ____________ home, so that you can receive some of our YOUR PRODUCTS NAME free. Now I will continue with our presentation because afterwards our hostess will be serving some _________________ refreshments.


Toilet Paper Game


Take a roll of Toilet Paper and pass it around. Tell guests to “take as much as they think they need.” Then have guests tell one thing about themselves for every square they took. If they take 10 squares they have to tell ten things about themselves. At Halloween, you can do it with candy corn.


It's In The Bag


This game can also be used at a Bridal or Baby Shower. Take a paper bag and put one small gift in it. Explain to guests you are going to count to a 100 and that they must continue to pass the bag around the room. Whoever ends up with the bag when you finish counting must model the item in the bag. You could use a small Teddy Bear and tell them it is a teddy in the bag and that they must model it. They will throw the bag faster and faster. At the end give them a piece of Tupperwareฎ for playing along and being such a good sport.






The Paper Bag Game


You need enough paper bags for everyone in the room. You have each person put a paper bag over his or her head and you say:


THIS IS A GAME OF SILENCE. Now, if you were on a sinking ship at sea, and had to remove things that were on you that were unnecessary, what would it be? Whatever you don't need, please remove now. Some people will figure out right away to take off their bag, while others will take off their shoes, jewelry, and clothes. When it looks as if they have taken off everything they can and still be decent, ask the guests that still have bags on their head if they thought about taking off the bag on their head.

Pick or Pass Game



This game is similar to the key chain game. Fix up envelopes and fill them with different prizes. Use 6 that say congratulations you are having a party, 1 that says $10 off your order, 1 that says free gift, 1 that says win a free grab bag, and 1 that says I will pay your $2.00 handling fee.


At the end of the presentation, each guest gets to pick an envelope or pass. No one can open their envelope until everyone has had a chance to pick or pass. The rule is they have to do what the paper inside their envelope says (like the key chain game)


For the grab bag use 4 or 5 of the nicer game bag gifts.


__________________________________________________ __


Replace Your Husband Game



Have each guest write down one item in their household that they would like to replace and then five reasons why. Next, have them scratch out the household item and replace it with the name of their husband or significant other. Each person then reads their list like this…”I want to replace Dexter because”…and then read their five reasons. This is a good icebreaker and puts everyone into a good mood.

Right & Left Game (#2)



This is the story of two close friends, Mrs. Rightmyer and Mrs. Leftmore. On the same day, both ladies received an invitation to a YOUR COMPANY NAME party. Right away, they each phoned the hostess to RSVP. The hostess let them know that at the party they would see great new products and that they should be sure to bring a friend.

Mrs. Rightmyer called Mrs. Leftmore right to ask if they could drive together. Mrs. Leftmore thought that would be a great idea, after all, her home was only two doors left of Mrs. Rightmyer's. Mrs. Rightmyer

Called the hostess right back to check the directions. She was sure to write them right down so she and Mrs. Leftmore would not get lost.

When the night arrived, Mrs. Leftmore met Mrs. Rightmyer right at 6:45, as they both wanted to be right on time. They left the phone number where they could be reached and left for the show. Mrs. Leftmore read the directions as Mrs. Rightmyer drove: they were to go 3 miles and make a right at the light, go over a bridge, make a second right (where the deli was on the left) and the hostess' home would be the fifth house on the right. Sure enough, they arrived right at 6:55.

The hostess let them in and told them to make themselves right at home. They were surprised at how many new items were available for the New Year-there was the right gift at the right price for every occasion. The consultant left nothing to the imagination as she explained all of the uses of each piece. Mrs. Rightmyer fell in love with the YOUR PRODUCT HERE that was on special for ____________. She wanted two sets one for her and one for Mrs. Leftmore's birthday that was coming up.

As Mrs. Rightmyer listened to the hostess program, she realized that she could get both sets YOUR PRODUCT HERE for free, if she hosted a YOUR COMPANY NAME Party right in her own home. Both ladies had fun playing the Right and Left Game, but Mrs. Leftmore was impressed at how much fun the consultant was having! The consultant had shared lots of information about the income opportunity. Now Mrs. Leftmore was starting to wonder if this could be right for her . . .it had been a long time since she and Mr. Leftmore had left for vacation and here was an opportunity to earn one free! Her hours could be based right around her family. What harm could it do to ask for information? She was pleased to hear she could attend a Sales Rally right away and was more than welcome to bring Mrs. Rightmyer.

Well, the party was over and it was time to go home, but both knew they had made the right decision to attend.
