How to Choose the Right Group Game

When choosing a group game, there are a few things you should take into consideration. Keep in mind the age of your crew, how many people you have attending the event and how competitive you want the games to be. There are many types of people who can enjoy group games.

Age of the participants

You’ll want to choose a game that is appropriate for the age group of the participants. If working with younger kids, you can pair older kids for harder games. In addition, make any game that is to juvenile a bit harder by adding extra steps or taking down the time to win.

Number of participants

Some games work better with larger groups, while others are more suited for smaller groups. Most of these games can be played in groups of 2 to 20. That’s a huge range. Adapt each game and team count based on the activity and the time you have. If you have a lot of people but some games require fewer people, take four people out of the team. Let them perform the game and then earn points for their team. On the next game, four different people can play. It create team work and gives all the players a crowd to cheer them on to success.

Level of competitiveness

Some people just want to have fun, while others are just wanting to win! The level of competitiveness does matter whenever you’re choosing a group game. In my opinion, the competition only makes it more fun. If you have toddlers or just adults that act like toddlers and can’t take the heat of a competitive, have a participation trophy or prize just for joining in on the fun.

Who are group games best for?

Honestly, there is no one group games are not best for. Group games bring all in into the fun. It eliminates the spectator sport and allows everyone in on the action. For those individuals who do actually enjoy watching and cheering on, drop them in a larger group. They can participate in one of the quickly paced group groups and cheer on their team for the rest.

The following types of groups are great for group games:

• Youth groups

• Workplace Team Building Event for Employees

• Guests at kids birthday parties

• Ice breakers for strangers

• Entertainment for adult parties

• Seasonal parties and group gatherings

Choosing the right group game can be the difference between a fun and engaging activity and a complete disaster. By taking into consideration the age of the participants, the number of people playing, and the level of competitiveness, you’ll be sure to choose a game that everyone will enjoy!

Ideas for Putting Together a Sweet Sixteen Party

A sweet sixteen party can be as simple or as lavish as you want it to be—the key is to make sure that your teenager feels like the star of the show on her big day.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Pick out the Decorations

Your teenager’s Sweet Sixteen is a big deal, so you want the decorations to reflect that. You can go with a simple theme like “16 and Fabulous” or get more specific with a Hollywood or Masquerade party theme.

Sweet 16 birthday party themes can include…

• 80s Dance Party
• White Themed Party
• Sleepover Birthday Party
• Spa Themed Party
• Hollywood Birthday
• Mardi Gras Birthday
• Backyard Movie Night
• Costume Party
• Winter Wonderland Party
• Masquerade Party
• Glow in the Dark Party

Whatever you choose, be sure to incorporate your teenager’s favorite colors, things and style into the décor.

Choose the Food to Prepare or Order

For a Sweet Sixteen party, you’ll want to serve foods that are age-appropriate and will please a variety of palates. Consider adding some of the celebrant’s favorite foods. Fingers foods are great as you only touch what is picked-up. A dessert table or candy table is a must for teens!

Some basic food ideas include…

• Pizza
• Slider Burgers
• Popcorn
• Candy Station
• Brownies

• Chicken Fingers
• Chips

Don’t forget to have fun and that means serving food that is also fun!

Choose a Location

The location of the birthday bash is important. You want it to be big enough to accommodate all the guests, but not so big that it feels empty. A house backyard or apartment is usually a good choice, but you can also rent out a community center or banquet hall.
