Party games for every group

Christmas party games

Games for adult and family parties, gift exchanges, office parties and kids, each with group size, time, ages and what you need. Printable games link to their cards, puzzles and questions, and a plan for a classroom Christmas party follows the games.

Birthday party games

Games for kids' birthday parties, toddlers and first birthdays, teens, and adult milestone birthdays. Each game lists group size, time, ages and what you need, with links to the printable cards and question sets.

Halloween party games

Games for kids' Halloween parties and class parties, plus costume contests and party games for teens and adults. The children's games are silly rather than scary, and each game lists group size, time, ages and what you need.

Bachelorette party and bridal shower games

Clean games for a bridal shower, a bachelorette or hen party, and a bachelor or joint party. None needs alcohol, and any guest can pass on any turn.

Baby shower and gender reveal games

Printable and no-print games for a baby shower or a gender reveal party. Printed games link to a page that makes the cards or puzzle with its answer key.

Thanksgiving games

Printable Thanksgiving games for home or the classroom, table games for the family between courses, and active games for kids after dinner. Each game lists group size, time, ages and what you need.

Easter party games

Egg hunts, races and table games for a family or class Easter party, plus games for adults and church groups.

Valentine's Day party games

Games for a class Valentine's party, from preschool to about fourth grade, and for adults, couples, friends and church groups.

New Year's Eve party games

Games to fill the evening before midnight, for adult house parties and for families with children. Each game lists group size, time, ages and what you need, and the printable ones link to their cards and questions.

Graduation and retirement party games

Games for a high school or college graduation party, indoors or in the yard, and for a retirement party at work, at home or on a video call.

Outdoor and pool party games

Backyard games for kids, lawn games for adults and mixed groups, water games for hot days, pool games and Fourth of July games. Each lists group size, time, ages and what you need, with safety notes where water or throwing is involved.

Party games for kids

Party games for kids sorted by age, from 3-year-olds to 12-year-olds, plus printable games for kids to play at the party or at home. For children under 5, choose short games where nobody is out.

Party games for teens

Games for a teen birthday, sleepover or hangout: group games, clean question games, outdoor games and quizzes. Anyone can pass a question or a dare, and nobody is filmed without saying yes.

Party games for seniors

Games for a senior center, an assisted living activity hour or a family party with older guests. Every game can be played sitting down, printed material comes in large print where the site offers it, and each game allows time to answer.

Family party games for all ages

Games that young children, teens, parents and grandparents can play together at family game night, a holiday gathering or a reunion. When a game needs reading, pair a younger child with an older partner.

Office and work party games

Games for an office holiday party, a team lunch or a staff social. Joining in is always optional, no game has anything to do with job performance, and nobody has to share anything personal.

Church and youth group games

Bible games, youth group games, and games for church parties and fellowship nights. Printed Bible trivia, bingo and word searches link to pages that make them.

Classroom games for every grade

Games for lesson review, brain breaks, indoor recess, the first days of school, math and spelling practice, and class parties, from kindergarten to high school. Most need only the board, paper or a soft ball.

Online party games for a video call

Games to play on any video call: quizzes on a shared screen, talking and guessing games, drawing and acting on camera, and games that send players around their own homes. Nothing needs installing beyond the call itself.

Party games for large groups

Games for 15 to 100 people: mixers while guests arrive, team games for a full room, whole-room games that need no setup, and outdoor games for a crowd.

Party games for small groups

Games for two to six players, where everyone gets a turn every minute or two: word games, dice and card games, pencil games and games for a small dinner.

Indoor party games

Indoor games for adults, teens, kids and toddlers, from guessing and drawing games to musical games and card games that need one deck. Most need no more than paper, pens or music.

Road trip and car games

Games for passengers on a long drive: spotting games, talking games, quiz games and printable games for the back seat. The driver never reads, writes or keeps score, and anyone who feels carsick can switch to a spotting or talking game.

Camping, book club and community group games

Games for a campsite or campfire, a book club meeting, and a club or community group night. The printable ones link to their cards, puzzles and brackets.

One-minute party games

Quick challenges that each last one minute and use things from around the house: cups, balloons, socks, cookies and paper. Run them one at a time with a timer, or set up four to six as stations.

Party games with no supplies

Games that need nothing but the people in the room: guessing games, talking and word games, and a few that get people moving. Most can be played seated at a dinner table.

Scavenger hunts and mystery party games

Run a quick whodunit, a mystery without a murder for younger players, scavenger, treasure and photo hunts, or a homemade escape room.

Party card games with a regular deck

Play Spoons for a lively table, Snap for quick matching, or Crazy Eights for a turn-based game. Each uses a regular deck rather than a boxed party game.

Carnival party games

Set up separate stations so guests can choose a game and take turns. These are original station rules. Agree the throwing distance and number of tries before play.
