Easter toys

Picka ägg.jpg

Picking eggs (outdoors)

You need:

  • Hard-boiled eggs for each participant.

A classic game that works well as a tournament. It involves the participants lining up two by two with each a hard-boiled egg. At a given signal, you must peck (clash) the egg against your opponent's egg.

The one whose egg breaks is out and the winner of the duel moves on to face another participant whose egg also survived the first match. The tournament ends when there is only one participant whose eggs have survived all duels.

Witch relay

You need:

  • A broom but relatively long handle for each team

This game is best suited outdoors, but if you have enough space indoors, it also works without problems.

There must be an even number of members in each team. The game begins with two members of each team straddling the broom and running a round with the broom between their legs. When they return to the team, the person at the front jumps off the broom and another member of the team jumps up behind the person who remains. Then the two run a round and then the first person is replaced by a new team member.

Each team member thus runs the course twice. To make things even, the game ends with the person who started running the course (and thus has only run once) jumping on the broom last and running his second lap as the last lap.

rosa fjädrar

Feather blowing (indoors)

You need:

  • A pack of Easter feathers

  • Strong lungs

This toy is best indoors as the spring must be able to slide on the floor. Each participant (or each team) gets a feather that is placed on the floor.

 

Then it is necessary to blow the spring a short distance forward and over the finish line. It is forbidden to use your hands!

äggrullning.jpg

Egg rolling (outdoors)

You need:

  • A hard-boiled egg for each participant

  • Markers or something to mark the eggs

This game does not require you to run, which may suit even older participants. It involves all participants rolling a hard-boiled egg down a small hill or hill. Whoever gets the farthest (and whose egg is whole!) wins.

To know which egg is whose, it can be smart for each participant to label their egg with a name or a drawing.

Ekologiska ägg

Egg throwing with raw egg 

You need:

  • One raw egg for each competing couple

 

This game can easily involve soiled clothes and sticky fingers so don't wear your best gear when playing this one.

All participants are divided into pairs. Each pair must throw a raw egg between them. Before each throw, the couple backs off one step each so that the distance between them is continuously increased. The couple who manages to throw the egg the farthest between them without the egg breaking wins. Works great at a party with many couples. Fun but messy!

Uppklädd

Blue charcoal pencil

You need:

  • An Easter bunny outfit for each team (skirt, shirt, shawl, broom and possibly large shoes)

This baton works both indoors and outdoors, you just have to adapt the game slightly according to how much space you have.

 

Each team gets an Easter Bunny outfit. When the start goes, one participant in each team must put on all the clothes, run a short lap and then take everything off again. Then its the next team members turn.

If you are short on space, you can skip the running moment and just let all the participants in each team put on and take off their uniforms as quickly as possible. The team that gets all their team members dressed and undressed the fastest wins.

Ägg och sked Race

Egg relay (outdoors)

You need:

  • A hard-boiled egg for each team

  • One spoon for each team

Another typical Easter game is running a relay with a hard-boiled egg on a spoon in your mouth. Each member of the team runs a lap with the egg balanced on the spoon in their mouth.

You can adapt the rules depending on how difficult you want to make it. Either way, it's just a matter of getting to the finish line first. How many times the team has dropped the egg doesn't matter. Or you get an extra 10 seconds for every time the team drops the egg. If you want to make it really difficult, you can say that the team that drops the egg gets washed immediately.

The game is absolutely best suited outdoors unless you happen to have a large space at home that is easy to clean.

Påskäggsjakt

Egg hunt

You need:

  • Eggs to hide (hardboiled or candy eggs)

Then there is the most classic Easter game - the Easter egg hunt. The game is simple - whoever finds the most eggs wins. You can hide the eggs both indoors and outdoors and also write little clues for a real treasure hunt. It's up to your own imagination!

Summer games

Gröna äpplen

Catch the apple

You need: Buckets, water, apple

Have the team members line up at the starting line and at the starting shot, have them one by one run up to the bucket and try to pick up an apple using only their mouths (no hands allowed). When the first participant has picked up an apple with their mouth, the participant must run back to their team and let the next in turn run forward to pick up an apple. The first team to get all the apples out of the bucket and make it back to the starting line wins.

One person in each team gets a potato on a spoon. Then you have to run and round a cone before handing over the spoon with the potatoes to the next person. If you lose the potato, you have to start over. When everyone in the team has time to go round and back, the competition is over.

Frisbee kastare

Dot the bucket

You need: Frisbee, bucket.

You need: One or two pieces of paper per person, pen

 

Instructions: Let each participant get one or two pieces of paper where they write down a word on each side of the piece of paper. It can be any words, e.g. "apple" and "cloud". Put all the slips in a bag and then draw two slips and read two words (one from each slip). Now it is up to the participants to find an object that matches what is written on the piece of paper as quickly as possible. Here it is important to be creative and as a judge you make the decision about what is approved and what is not!

Kolasnöret.jpg

The caramel string

You need: Carbon string

 

Instructions: Give each participant a candy string. Insert 2 cm of one end of the candy string into the mouth and let the rest of the string hang outside the mouth.

Then the participants must take turns blowing away any number of cards from the deck. Keep blowing away cards until whoever blows away the joker (ie the last card in the pile) from the bottle loses.

Jättesäckhoppning.jpg

Giant sack jumping

This game requires access to huge sacks. They can be obtained, for example, in shops that sell topsoil or the like.

If you have such a sack, up to six people can jump sack at the same time in the same sack!


If you have several sacks, you can do team relays, otherwise you can race against the clock or just practice cooperation.

​Jucka sönder ballongen

​Break the balloon

You need: x number of balloons and string.

You have probably seen the film, which has been widely spread on social media. This branch involves attaching a balloon to the butt using a string around the waist. The first person on the team must stand at the goal and wait for the next person on the team to run up to it and squish the balloon. When the balloon bursts, the next person can run forward and crush the other person's balloon. Laughter and a little pee in the pants are promised. The team that has broken all the balloons wins and gets points.

avloppsrensare med sugpropp.jpg

Throw dart with suction cup

What is needed: At least one drain cleaner with a suction plug and a scoreboard (which you can make yourself).

Make a scoreboard with three fields: 3 points at the bottom, 2 points in the middle and 1 point at the end. Throw and count points.

Kuddkrig på stock

Pillow fight on log

Two competitors stand or sit opposite each other on a log a bit above ground level. Both contestants have at least one pillow in their hands. When the starting signal goes, you have to force your opponent down with the pillow. Pushing each other down with hands or feet is not allowed.

kubb.jpg

Cube relay

Set out x number of cubes in a row, one row for each team. The teams simultaneously start throwing down the block with one stick each, and when one hits, you run and get the stick and pass it to the next one - just like in a relay race. First to finish wins.

Hamring

Nail competition

If you have access to a hammer, nails and proper pieces of wood or planks, this is a fun and easy game. All participants must drive a nail all the way down, one at a time, as fast as possible. Fastest wins.

Ballongpoäng.jpg

Balloon points

The game is prepared by writing point numbers on small pieces of paper, approx. 3x3cm. It can be e.g. 2 pieces of paper with the number 0 on it, 4 pieces with 5, 2 pieces with 10, 2 pieces with 15. Fold or roll up the pieces and place each piece inside its own balloon. 
The balloons with notes in them are inflated and attached in a row to a rope or a wooden board. 
Individually or in teams, participants take turns throwing darts and bursting the balloons and collecting score slips. It is important to get as many points as possible. So even if you burst the most balloons, the team that got down fewer can win because they got more points.  We usually look at the score only when all the balloons have been popped. Then it will be exciting right to the end! If you only use an arrow, the risk of someone getting hit is minimal, but still think about the safety of the participants!

Rövkrok.jpg

Ass hook

This is a fun game for adults that is often associated with Gotland, but was known over large parts of southern Sweden.

Here's how the game goes:

  1. The two contestants lie down on their backs next to each other, but with their heads in opposite directions. The arms closest to each other are hooked together in an arm hook.

  2. Both lift the leg closest to the other and hook them together.

  3. Now it's about rolling over/rolling backwards/pushing the other person's leg down by pulling your own leg towards you/down towards the ground.

  4. Whoever manages to stay still and not fall over has won.

nyfiken i en strut

Curious in a cone

Roll up an A3 paper into a cone and fasten the cone around the face of the contestants. Make sure the small holes are the same size. Through the small peephole, the participants must then look for an object on the lawn. Whoever finds the item first wins.

Or play soccer with two goals and one ball.

Organiska potatisar

Pick potatoes

The participants get to put a cone that is open at both ends for the face. It should only be possible for the participant to see something through the small opening.
Within a larger, demarcated play area, a quantity of potatoes are then spread out to be picked up by the participants.

The activity can be performed individually in time or with several competitors at the same time.
Consider the risk of collision when the field of vision is limited.
 

It is possible to replace the potatoes with balls, or eggs (although eggs can be a bit fragile)

skottkarrerace.jpg

barrow race

A perfect activity for playful guests who have a lot of running in their legs!

Here's how the game goes:

As many wheelbarrows as teams are needed, at least two.
One person drives the wheelbarrow and one sits in it - it doesn't get any harder than that! Suggested across a lawn, up to a mark to be rounded and then back to the team where you quickly change to a new driver and passenger.
The first team to run all their laps wins!
If you want to make the game even more challenging, you can let the driver be blindfolded, and the passenger can be the one to steer by shouting "right!", "no, left!"...

Visseltävling.JPG

Whistling competition

What is needed: Dry biscuits and decide on a tune to whistle.

Eat 3-4 biscuits, chew and try to WHISTLE. Whoever can whistle first wins.

godishissen.jpg

The candy elevator

Players must loop the string around each ear and pull the pencil stacked with three M & M to the mouth and eat them. 

The team that manages the most wins!

gurka.jpg

Cucumber movement

Divide into two equal teams and place the teammates in rows, preferably every other woman and every other man. Instruct everyone to keep their hands behind their backs throughout the competition. Each team gets a cucumber to move from the first to the last person on the team. The easiest way is to pinch the cucumber between your knees and hand it over to the next person's knees.

If the cucumber falls to the floor, the team is penalized by having the cucumber go back one step, i.e. to the person who just managed to leave it behind. This game is extra fun if the people in the teams are of different heights.

 

norsk fylla.jpg

Spin the stick 

Line up the teams and place a stick on the turf about 10 meters in front of each team. One by one you run forward, straighten the stick so that one end is on the ground and the other against the forehead. Then run around the stick x number of laps, let go of the stick, and run back to your team as fast as you can. It will be wobbly, so be careful! When you return, the next contestant takes over. The first team to get everyone to the finish line wins.

Långt hopp

Team long jump

The participants are divided into teams. All teams start from a common starting line. One person from each team jumps as far as it will go, standing still from the starting line.

From where the first jumper lands, the next team member stands and jumps as far as possible and so on. When all teams have jumped the same number of times, you check who has the longest team jump!

You can also see which team needed the least number of jumps to cover a certain distance or which ones reach the fastest.

Volleyboll på Sand

Buff ball

In this game, it is necessary to push a ball forward, but not with the feet as in soccer, but only with the help of the head.
The participants line up along a starting line and when the starting shot goes off, crawling, push a ball with their head a distance, round a rounding mark and get back to the starting line again.

This can be advantageously done as a relay! Experiment with balls of different sizes.

Äggrullning 1.jpg

Egg rolling

Here, it is important to get your egg to roll the furthest. Standing still from a starting line, the egg must be rolled away, either along level ground or from a plank. It is important that the egg has contact with the ground all the way when it rolls and is not thrown away, that is cheating!

kurragömma_midsommarlekar.jpg

Backflip hide and seek

Contrary to the classic version! Here, everyone is counting and one is hiding. Whoever finds the person hides in the same place.

 

In the end, there will be one left who searches and finds everyone at once.

Vänner Roddbåt

Run rowing boat

Players must loop the string around each ear and pull the pencil stacked with three M & M to the mouth and eat them. 

The team that manages the most wins!

grodspottning.jpg

Frog spitting

This game can be played individually or in teams. If the participants are competing individually, it is necessary to spit a candy jelly frog furthest from a starting line. 

If you choose the team variant, the participants are divided into teams of equal size. First man spits his jelly frog away. From where it lands, the next person in turn takes their turn and spits theirs, etc.

 

The team that gets the farthest wins.

Pricka flaskan med pennan.jpg

The pen in the bottle

We remember this one from middle school class parties! The guests are divided into two teams, the teams line up in two ranks. The first person in each line gets a string tied around their waist. From the string hangs another string which is tied to a pencil. A bottle is placed behind the contestants.

The goal is for them to, by bending forward and looking back, between their legs, dot the bottle with the pencil. When they have succeeded, the turn goes on to the next person in the team. The team that finishes first wins.

Samla ägg

The egg fight

The participants are divided into pairs of two and two. Each pair gets an egg to throw between them. For each successful roll, they move further apart. The pair that manages the distance without the egg breaking wins! A sticky warning is issued so watch your clothes.

Vattenglas

Water chain

The participants line up. Everyone has a mug. The first man in the line stands at a water source of some kind, for example a bucket full of water. Last man standing at an empty span. When the start signal goes, the first person fills their cup with water from the bucket and then pours the water from their cup to the next person's cup, and so on. When the last man gets the water in his mug, he quickly pours it into his bucket.

So the game continues, either for a predetermined time or until the water in the first bucket runs out. Then you measure how much water the team managed to transport.
 

Bankrånarbowling.jpg

Bank Robber Bowling

This adult game is fun both because the competition is challenging and because you look so funny!

  1. You need nylon stockings, tennis balls and water bottles.

  2. The contestant stuffs a tennis ball into the toe of the nylon stocking and then pulls the stocking over their head like a bank robber.

  3. Now you have to swing your head and make the ball swing so that it knocks down as many water bottles as possible.

Gray and tan ryggsäck på kvinnans arm

Strength test

What's needed: Two weights of some kind (eg bricks, stones or weights) and a timer.

Try to keep your arms straight with the weights in each hand. The participant who manages to keep their arms straight the longest wins.

Nautical Rope

Balance on rope

Lay out a long rope on the floor and ask all the party participants to stand with both feet on the rope, next to each other, preferably
without shoes.


The leader then tells everyone to line up in birthday order, for example, with January on the far left and December on the far right.
You always have to have one foot on the rope and are therefore allowed to climb and hug past each other.


Works well as an ice breaker at the party.

Såpafotboll.jpg

Soap football/fireball

Divide into two equal teams and place the teammates in rows, preferably every other woman and every other man. Instruct everyone to keep their hands behind their backs throughout the competition. Each team gets a cucumber to move from the first to the last person on the team. The easiest way is to pinch the cucumber between your knees and hand it over to the next person's knees.

If the cucumber falls to the floor, the team is penalized by having the cucumber go back one step, i.e. to the person who just managed to leave it behind. This game is extra fun if the people in the teams are of different heights.

 

teambuilding skida i kapp.jpg

Ski racing

You need four old planks or skis. Then you nail 3 strips across each ski, with enough distance so that three people can stand behind each other. The game consists of three people from each team putting their feet into the straps and with joint efforts cover a certain distance in the shortest possible time. It will be extra fun if you make the course a bit curvy.

Christmas & winter games

Jullekar
Kärleks kärlek

The love

Everyone sits on a chair each in a ring, except for one person. This will try to get a chair by declaring his love for someone in the ring. If the person sitting then starts laughing, they must give up their seat, otherwise the lovesick person may move on to the next one. 100 percent risk of laughter!

blockchoklad.jpg

Habitual eating

Accessories: Block chocolate, hat, scarf, gloves, dice, knife, fork.
Everyone sits in a ring, with a plate of chocolate blocks in the middle. One starts by rolling a die, then it's the next person's turn, etc., until someone gets a six. Then he gets to put on a hat, gloves and scarf and start eating the chocolate with a knife and fork. Meanwhile, you keep rolling the dice, and when someone gets a six, it's his turn to grab his hat, gloves, scarf and start eating until he's interrupted by the next six.

Galenpanna.webp

Galenpanna

1. You need paper, pencil and tape.
2. Write a celebrity or someone everyone knows about on a piece of paper. Tape it to the forehead of the person to your right.
3. Now everyone with yes and no questions must figure out who they are. You may ask one question at a time.
4. The first one wins.

ATTENTION! You only get to guess people three times, then you're out.

Kinesiska viskleken.webp

Chinese gossip

This game is exactly like the quiz game but with paper and pencil! Do it like this: Tear up appropriate-sized pieces of paper and hand out pens to everyone. Everyone must have as many pieces of paper as there are people in the room, that is, if you are six people, you must all have six pieces of paper each. Set the clock for two minutes. Now everyone must draw something on a piece of paper. When two minutes have passed, the stress begins. Everyone shows their drawing to the person sitting to their left. You hold up the drawing for exactly ten seconds. Then the clock is set for 30 seconds and now you have to draw the drawing you saw on a new piece of paper. When 30 seconds have passed, you put the note down, take a new one and then you have to look again at the drawing that the one on the left is holding up. When you have walked the whole team around and everyone has drawn all the drawings, the game is over. Then you show the original drawings and put them one after the other so that you can see how the drawing turned out as people have painted the picture from memory.

Liten mus

The mouse or “beep!”

Place a pile of nuts (and/or raisins and almonds) on the table. One person turns his back, the others decide which nut is the "mouse". The player turns and then picks nuts until they get the "mouse", then everyone else shouts "beep!". Either you compete and count how many nuts you have taken and put them back. Whoever gets the most nuts after several rounds wins! Or, especially if playing with smaller children, instead of counting and competing, you can play with raisins and almonds and simply let the player eat all the raisins/almonds that are not mice!

Högen av apelsiner

Orange displacement

This game, in all its simplicity, is endless fun. Divide into two equal teams and place the teammates in rows, preferably every other woman and every other man. Instruct everyone to keep their hands behind their backs throughout the competition. Each team gets an orange that must be moved from the first to the last person on the team. The easiest way is to pinch the orange between the chin and neck and hand it to the next person's chin/neck. If the orange falls to the floor, the team is penalized by having the orange go back one step, i.e. to the person who just managed to leave it behind.

 

jullek.jpg

Assignments under the plate

Everyone gets their own assignment, for example under the plate at the meal.

The assignments should be slightly different, such as "wipe your table neighbors mouth every now and then, take food from your table neighbors plate every now and then, interrupt and tell about your vacation often", "burp loudly and loudly", "say that this was the worst thing you ate", "cheat for summer often" "comment on the same board every now and then", "reach across the table for food so it disturbs" etc. 

Vem är vem.webp

Who is who?

Good game for parties where everyone doesn't know each other very well, or where different groups of friends meet. First, the guests are divided into groups, which are called 1, 2, 3, etc. Each group receives a number of questions about another group that they must find out during the course of the evening.

 

Eg: what shoe size does Santa have? What was Berit 's grades when she left the ninth grade? Then it is up to the groups to list out these answers during the evening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Julklapp

The Christmas gift game

In order to be able to play this game, all participants must bring two, cheap Christmas gifts. Then it's simply a game of who gets which Christmas present. Exactly how the game works can vary, but of course all Christmas presents must be wrapped when you start and the game itself can e.g. proceed as follows:


You use a die, which everyone rolls, until someone gets a 6. Then he gets to choose a Christmas present from the pile. This continues until everyone has received two packages. If you wish, you can also continue to throw dice after this. The only difference now is that when someone gets a six, he or she is allowed to exchange one of their Christmas presents with someone else (of course you get to choose who).

svansen på grisen.jpg

The tail of the pig

Pigs are associated with Christmas, so "The Pig's Tail" is definitely a Christmas game! Draw a large, round Christmas pig on a piece of paper. Attach the paper to the wall. Blindfold one participant at a time who is spun around and then led to the paper and allowed to draw a grunt on the pig. The one with the most appropriately placed knorr wins!

Pig Stuffie och skor

Collect things

Each team has a nest. The leader says, for example, "an embarrassing object" or "a loving gift" whereupon the team must retrieve this as quickly as possible. The team that gets the thing to their nest first gets a point. Sometimes several things are called out at the same time to create a bit of a mess. Collecting stuff can be done in other ways too. When all the objects are collected, they are also pitted against each other and the game leader gets to decide the winner in each "branch" depending on creativity. Most points wins!
This game can also be played with all objects written down on a piece of paper that is handed out to the team. The different items give different points depending on the degree of difficulty. Then the teams have X number of minutes to collect them.

office-christmas-party-ideas-Article-600

The package game

You divide into pairs. All are supplied with a box, wrapping paper, scissors, tape and string. Then the pairs should hold each other around the waist with one arm. Together, you then have two arms to wrap packages with. Take the time. The pair that needed the shortest time wins.

skalade jordnötter

Pick nuts

Lay out ten nuts on a table. A person leaves the room. Those who remain select a nut that comes to their mind. Whoever left the room enters and must take one nut at a time, until he or she reaches the selected nut. You can keep the nuts you pick up. If there are nut allergy sufferers at the party, you can of course make the game with raisins or other Christmas goodies.

Barber Verktyg

The tool game

This is a clever game where the game leader has to be a bit secretive for it to work!

 

Here's how the game goes:

  1. Prepare a sign/paper that says what the task of the competition is: "Try to get as long, continuous piece of a potato as possible." Do not show this to participants.

  2. Divide the participants into teams or let them compete individually.

  3. Bring out a tray with a variety of tools. Hammer, saw, knife, potato peeler, butter knife, fork, funnel, etc. The more and different the better.

  4. Now ask the participants/teams to choose two tools each to carry out the secret mission.

  5. When all the tools have been chosen, the play leader shows the sign/paper with the assignment. Now it's time to get the longest piece of potato out with the help of your tools! It can be as much fun as you like if you choose, for example, a funnel and a hammer...

Friends sjunger

The song game

In turn, everyone must come up with a song to sing so that everyone understands what it is. The only rule is that you must never sing a song that has appeared before. You can, if you want, decide that you have, for example, ten seconds to start singing when its your turn. If you dont make it or if you happen to sing a song that has already been sung, you have lost. It becomes a lot of fun after a while when the imagination starts to run wild. Then you often hear everything from hymns and operettas to hard rock songs.

Red Vattenflaska

Drip water

Fill an ordinary water bottle with water (plastic sports bottle model with drinking nozzle). Place a span approximately 2 meters in front of a participant. 

The participant places the water bottle between their knees with the mouth of the bottle directed towards the span. By squeezing the bottle between the knees, the participant must try to pour as much water as possible into the bucket. 

Whoever manages to fill the pan with the most water during a predetermined time (1-2 min) wins.

Participants may not use their hands after the bottle is placed between their knees!

The game can be adapted in many ways, as a relay, cooperative exercise (someone can help catch water with smaller vessels). It may be permissible to refill the bottle if it is empty.

Man att lukta vin

Smell memory

Works like a normal memory game, the only difference is that the game is played with small containers containing something that has a special smell, for example gingerbread, coffee, soap or the like.

 

The players are blindfolded and must remember where the containers that match the other container they smell are located, without being able to see this. Much more fun than it might sound!

alfabetet.jpg

A meaningful game

Write all the letters of the alphabet on pieces of paper and place them upside down on the table. Each participant, pair or team may take five pieces of paper and must create a sentence with words beginning with the five letters. If you get e.g. the letters A, Å, R, E, G you can form the sentence  "A monkey rides a green space rocket".

Gillar du dina grannar.webp

Do you like your neighbors?

Everyone sits on chairs in a ring except for one person who stands in the middle. She walks up to someone and asks "do you like your neighbors?". The person can then either answer "No" whereupon those sitting on each side must switch places, or "Yes, but not those with red shoes" whereupon everyone with red shoes must switch places. The problem is that then the one in the middle has to find a place, but those sitting must never have an empty chair to the left of one, but must then also move. When one person is left in the middle, it's their turn to ask someone.

The nonstop game

The advantage of Nonstop play is that you can be as many as you like

 

Thats how it goes:
1. Place 15 non-transparent plastic cups upside down.

2. Then you put a nonstop under each plastic cup. You must have three different colors, five of each color.

3. Have three different bowls spread out that are quite far apart.

 

4. You should take your time and open one plastic cup at a time and take the nonstop that is inside and put it in one of the bowls. Then you do the same with everyone and the color varieties.

 

5. There must be five non-stops in each bowl and the person running the game says stop when there are five in each bowl.

The clap and turn game

You need four old planks or skis. Then you nail 3 straps across each ski, with a suitable distance so that three people can stand behind each other. The game consists of three people from each team putting their feet into the straps and with joint efforts cover a certain distance in the shortest possible time. It will be extra fun if you make the track a bit curvy.

Who was it?

Give each participant a pen and paper. Ask the participants to write down one or more secrets or interesting information about themselves (something you might actually want to share) on different pieces of paper. It can be anything from an experience or a secret talent.

 

Fold the pieces and place them in a bowl.

The game leader draws a note and reads it aloud. Now it is up to all the participants to simultaneously point to the person the note is about, whoever is right gets points! The most points when all slips are read out wins.

Gamla Fotbollsskor

The school play

A really old classic Christmas game! Sit in a circle on the floor and let a shoe be passed from one to the other, behind the back. One person sits in the middle of the ring.
Meanwhile read the following verse:

This shoe it shall walk,
from one to the other,
let it go, let it go, never let it stand still.

At the word "stand", the hands stop. Now it is up to the person sitting in the middle of the ring to guess where the shoe is. Whoever has the shoe gets to stand in the middle of the ring.

Filipin

This is a Christmas game that spans the entire Christmas season! If you find two hazelnuts in the same shell, you give one nut to someone else and keep the other for yourself. They agree on a date, not too far into the future. Whoever on this day says "Filipino" to the other first has won.

Charader.png

Charades x 3

A slightly more advanced charades game that gets more fun the further into the game you get! Do this: Everyone writes eight notes each with famous people, then put the notes in a bowl. Then divide into teams of two. In the first round, one member of the team draws a piece of paper. Then in one minute you have to explain who you have on the note to the other person. You can use any words except those on the note. When the bowl is empty, you count how many tickets you managed to win and then put them all back in the bowl. The second round works the same way but you can only use three words. No more, then the ride continues. The last round can only be shown with charades. It is very addictive and fun.

“Find the Food”

Try to find the food hiding behind the names below. This game is suitable for children who can read, or the adults who like to play with words. We can promise a guaranteed laugh factor when you come up with the right dish! Write the crazy names on small pieces of paper and put them in a bowl. A participant picks up a piece of paper and reads out what is written on it. The participant places the note on the table for everyone to see, then it is up to each person to spell out the correct dish. Whoever thinks they are right can then say their name and all participants must then stop guessing. Most correct wins.

Packa pappas kappsäck.jpg

Pack dad's duffel bag

One person goes out and the others decide on a particular person. Each one packs one thing into the duffel bag, something that distinguishes the chosen person. It can be such different things as ballet shoes, cap, snuff. The one who went out comes in and asks what each has packed, and with the help of the answers he must figure out who the person is.

Marshmallow-Challenge.jpg

Marshmallow Challenge

The group was divided into teams of 4. Each group received 20 pieces of spaghetti, 1 m of tape, 1 m of string and 1 marshmallow. The task was then to build the tallest free-standing tower with the entire marshmallow on top in 18 minutes.

The marshmallow challenge is something that has been tested around the world, with different ages and with different professional groups. One of the groups that coped best with tower building is children in preschool. Another group that has performed at the top is, for natural reasons, architects. The tallest tower yet built is 90 cm. The job is very much about collaboration, innovation and creativity

Hund i en låda

Pick up the box with your teeth

Take a large packet of cornflakes (or a similar box). Remove the top cover. Place the box in the middle of the room and ask the guests to lift it - with their teeth. Only the feet may touch the ground, no support may be used. When the first round is over, you tear off a decimeter of the cardboard and let everyone try again. This is how you continue until the box is very low, and only the most agile in the party remains. That person has won the game.

pappersflygplan.jpg

Flying competition

The participants are divided into pairs, each pair gets a regular A4 paper and must fold a paper airplane out of it. 
But to make it a little more difficult, each participant must first choose one of their hands that will be active in the cooperation with the aircraft folding. The other hand must not be used but must be held behind the back throughout the collaboration. 
Both in the pair get to choose their best hand.

When all pairs have an airplane ready, it's time to see which pair's airplane flies the farthest.
Each participant in turns gets three attempts to throw his plane from a launch site, and where it lands after the longest flight, a marker is laid out. 

The pair whose aircraft flew the farthest from the ejection site wins!
