Use these classic fun party games, add a new title and make it unique to your party. Give your party guests a really fun, fun, fun game session at that special boy or girls birthday celebration.

Mad Libs is a fun way to get party guests to open up. What Mad Libs do is make a story…a funny story. And everyone can help to make this story and it should be silly…that is what makes it so much fun. You begin to play Mad Libs with a basic story line. You must leave some words out and put in the kind of word that will fit there. For example, Mary blank her bike…so that blank would need to be filled in by a Verb. Mary wore a blank on her head. That blank would need to be filled in by a Noun. See…how the game goes along? Each child or guest can fill in one of the missing words and then when the words are all filled in read the story….You can find books with party Mad Libs in them or you can make up your own story line using the names of the birthday star and the party guests in it.

Chinese Whispers is another very simple game that is fun to play. Sit everyone in a circle and have someone start playing by telling them the Game Sentence. In Chinese Whispers a sentence or phrase is told to the first player. That player must whisper it to the next player and so on around the circle. When the phrase or sentence is told to the last player, that player must stand up and say the sentence out loud. What is so funny about that? Well, usually by the time the message is delivered to everyone, it has changed a great deal from the original sentence. Make your sentence something silly like “Wet dogs shake and shake to get dry” or “Dogs use umbrellas only when it rains cats and dogs”. Now you can also rename your game to fit your party theme. The Pirate Whispers at a pirate party and the Princess Whispers at a princess theme party…and have your phrase match the theme as well. (more…)

The other day, I asked my teenaged son where he was off to and he promptly replied that he was off to play a game of pool with his buddies. It reminded me of my younger days when I was an avid pool enthusiast. In fact, I distinctly remember that it is over one of these games of pool, that I met my wife, Margaret.

Playing Online

Pool can be an exciting game and it is great because it helps you build your strategy and helps you a lot, later in life. Nowadays of course, since I am pressed for time, I do not have the leisure to pursue this old hobby of mine. So, more often than not, I find myself drawn to online pool! It’s fast, it’s convenient and I can always play a quick game online when I’m on my lunch break in office!

What is even better is that, this actually helps you to get your practice rail shots and angles right. Moreover, you meet an interesting array of opponents. You can choose from a variety of one-player, two-player or three-player games. Though, in real life, pool is a two-player game, the internet has interesting variations of it. If you’re not so great with your pool, you can also learn from a “virtual tutor”, yep, that’s right, it’s that easy to learn pool nowadays.

Most of these websites offer you the opportunity to play pool, all for free and sometimes, many of the software programs which you find online, have helpful tips to offer, which you can use to better your game. (more…)
