Hello,
This is my first post so hope I did everything correctly. I am going to and helping with 2 quilt retreats (3 day each Oh Fun Fun) and I am in need of some fun games that quilters might like to play in between completing (yeah sure) there UFO's. I would appreciate any help anyone might help me with. A quilting friend Angie |
You can have:
1. One of the nights have a pajama party - best pjs wins a prize 2. An ugly fabric auction 3. A fat quarter swap - each person brings fat quarters indivdually wrapped in paper. If you put in 3 wrapped fat quarters, you take that same number out. 4. Make up a points game. For example, everyone in the room starts with 100 points then they add or subtract based on questions you make up(ie if you are wearing socks add 10 points, if you are wearing makeup minus 20 points). Be creative and far out with the questions. You do this game along with the pajama party. Hope these help. |
We have played "Strip Poker" at my guild meeting - everyone starts with, say 10 strips, WOF, 3" wide. Each player antes up 1 strip, then you deal everyone ONE card, and high card wins all the strips! Depending on how long you want to play, you can also have people trade tables every so often. I had a lot of fun playing, and then made a miniature rail fence quilt with the strips I ended up with!

Thanks to all of you for your helpful game suggestions. Will get with our team and know we will use them.
Thanks a bunch you are appreciated. Angie |
I have a question about the #4 points game. Everyone starts with 100 points add or subtract points based on the questions.
How does the prize work out, most points least number of point?? Need some help here this sounds like fun. Thanks Angie |
Depending on the number of prizes you have, you pick the same amount of people with the highest number. It can be alot of fun. For example:
Everyone starts with 100 points for being there. Then start with questions like: If you are wearing gold earrings add 5 points If you are wearing socks substract 10 points If you have a condom in your bag plus 20 points If you have a library card add 30 points If you are wearing more than one ring substract 15 points If you were born in the year 19## add 25 points The questions are endless and can be a riot depending on the crowd. Have fun with it. |

We played a similar game to the one with points above...
It all rhymed, and I read it out loud... give yourself 10 points for each button for each button that's blue, take away 2.... I didn't save it on the computer, but I will try to find it again. Everyone thought it was fun. I was a bit skeptical at first.... |
I cannot believe how fast I found this! I did one search, and it came up first thing!
YOu can always change things around a bit for a more "quilty" theme. THis was for a bridal shower. Peculiar Game This is a rather peculiar game It really does not have a name It's simple to play as a game should be You just do as you're told, you see So now if you'll please give me your attention We'll put an end to this suspension In the end, whoever scores the most Will receive a prize of which to boast Now since you're all fashionable girls Give yourself 5 if you have any pearls You may add 3 if your toes peek out And earrings will give you 2 more to shout Score yourself 5 if you show any red Add 6 more for a curl on your head Now before you think you are going to win Take away 2 for each safety pin Give yourself 6 if your pants are tight Add 1 for a scarf which is just about right Add 5 more if your shoes are black And take away 3 for a zipper in back Now count all your buttons, for each you get 2 And take away 1 for each button that's blue Give yourself 5 if your heels are high And why not take 10 for the green in your eye 10 more points for a rose on your clothes Take away 5 if you forgot to wear hose If your husband you kissed today - add 9 If you didn't subtract 12 - you're subject to fine This is the end...there isn't anymore Who is the lucky lady with the highest score? |
