When should you play Party Games at Parties?

You should play party games at parties when there are 10 or more people who will attend the occasion. Doing so will promote social interaction among the attendees which will make the event lively.

You also have to consider the demographics of the attendees before you play the party games. For sure kids are eager to participate in the games, while adults would probably choose to just talk with each other or the likes over a cup of coffee or drinks.

If the attendees are mostly single/high school friends then there is a high chance they will join the games. Because somehow they missed each other. Just like the old times, kidding here and there. If you know what I mean.

Should Overseas Filipino Workers play Party games abroad?

Yes, Overseas Filipino Workers should play party games abroad to socialize, make friends, and build networks with fellow OFWs. Playing party games will also help OFWs to spend time with friends abroad and relax after tedious work in the office.

Chaos trip to Jerusalem

Game description.

Who does not know, the Journey to Jerusalem? However, this game is a modified version to provide even more fun. Again, you put up the chairs, always one fewer than there are kids in the room. So far there is not much change to the original game. The music starts, and all kids run around the chairs. However, when the music stops, the kids do not sit down automatically but wait for the game leader to name an object. This object has to be found among the children or somewhere in the room. When the object is found, it is placed on an empty chair.

The last kid no longer finding an empty chair for his object has to leave the game. Continue until there is only one kid left which emerges as the victorious winner of the competition.

8 party games for an authentic pinoy party.

If there’s one thing all Pinoys love, it’s a proper party – complete with lechon , lots of rice, inappropriate tita comments, and, of course, party games. We list down the most common party games that no proper Pinoy party should pass on:

8. Trip to Jerusalem

This game is played by arranging a bunch of chairs in a circle. Players should be one more than the chairs. So if you have 12 chairs, there should be 13 players. Dance-y music is then played as players go around the chairs. Players must then take a seat once the music stops. The person who doesn’t get seated is eliminated. A chair is also removed from the circle as the game progresses. The game gets real when there’s only one chair left and two players fight for it. This could get really dangerous, especially if the players are highly competitive. I’ve witnessed lips getting bloodied and shirts getting ripped. Now, that’s a game of thrones!

7. Bring Me

Bring Me is as straightforward as it gets. The host says “Bring Me + whatever he/she wants” and whoever brings the item first gets the prize. Items include the usual “puting buhok” and “10-peso bill” to the strange requests such as armpit hair and nail clippings. Makes you wonder if they’re brewing a potion of some sort and are just using the party as an excuse to get the ingredients.

6. Stop Dance

Like the Trip to Jerusalem, only without the chairs. Players must dance, but once the music stops, they must freeze. Those who are unable to remain still gets eliminated. You can also reverse the mechanics by having the players dance when there’s no music and freeze when there is. What a nightmare for awkward dancers!

5. Paper Dance

Similar to Trip to Jerusalem and Stop Dance in the sense that it requires stopping-and-starting music to eliminate players. The twist is that a piece of paper (usually a broadsheet) is used as the “dance floor”. Players are grouped into twos and hop on the paper when the music stops. The paper is then folded in half and gets tinier and tinier. The teams must find a way to remain upright within their respective “dance floor”. The last team standing wins.

4. Pinoy Henyo

A relatively new addition to Pinoy parties, Pinoy Henyo is played between teams of two. The goal is to guess a word (it could be a name, place, food, song title, etc). One team member gets to guess by asking yes-or-no questions. The other then replies with “Oo, Hindi, or Pwede.” The team who guesses correctly in the shortest amount of time is the winner.

3. Pukpok Palayok

It’s the Philippines’ version of the piñata, only instead of papier-mâché, we hit a clay pot called palayok . The player gets blindfolded, spun around, and yelled at with directions. If he/she succeeds at hitting the jackpot, the audience gets to dive for a shower of candies, barya , and other knickknacks. I’ve always thought this game was a way for the adults to let go of all their repressed anger.

2. Happy birthdaaaaaaaaaay

A fitness test, in a way, this game asks participants to hold their breath the longest while saying a phrase. Usually it’s “happy birthday”, but I’ve heard “Merry Christmas” and “welcome to the Christian world” too.

This game is often the highlight of Pinoy parties, specifically children’s birthdays. Goodies are tied on a suspended frame of kawayan and shiny palara . Players stand underneath as an operator lowers or raises the it as he/she pleases. Players get to keep whatever they could grab from the pabitin . This could also get violent. Children can become quite rabid at the prospect of free toys and candies. Be vigilant.

When the music starts, the players should dance while going around the chairs. Each player must take a seat as soon as the music stops. The one who wasn’t able to get a seat is eliminated. A chair is then removed until there’s only one left for two players to fight for. The player who gets the last chair wins.

2 | Longest Line

Longest Line is best played in a wide space and by at least two teams. 

The goal of the game is to make a longest line out of the items found on the body of the group members. Players are divided into groups of equal size. They are given time, typically five minutes, to make a line using items such as shoes, slippers, belts, shirts, pants, handkerchief, and whatever is found on the body of the member. The one who makes the longest line within the allotted time wins.

3 | Bring Me

Bring Me can be played both indoors and outdoors best played by two or more people.

Also called “Give Me What I Want”, the game requires the player to bring to the host whatever he/she wants. It starts with the host saying “Bring me + item wanted”. The player who brings the item first gets the prize. The most popular items often asked include white hair, peso bills, and curly hair among others. 

4 | Statue Dance

Statue Dance can be played both indoors and outdoors best played by two or more people.

Similar to Trip to Jerusalem, this game also involves music and dancing. When the music plays, the players must dance and must freeze once it stops. Those who are unable to remain still get eliminated. The game continues until there’s only one person left who will be declared as the winner. To make the game more challenging, the mechanics are reversed. The players should dance when there’s no music and must freeze once it plays. 

5 | Paper Dance

Paper Dance can be played both indoors and outdoors played by partners.

The game requires a piece of paper, typically newspaper, and like Trip to Jerusalem, it involves music and dancing as well. Players are grouped into twos and must dance when the music is being played. Once the music stops, players must step on the paper and must stay that way until the music is played again. The couple whose feet are touching the ground is eliminated. The newspaper is then folded in half every round so it gets smaller and smaller. The last team standing is declared the winner.

6 | pabitin.

Pabitin can be played both indoors and outdoors with no maximum number of players although it is best to have separate rounds for shorter players and taller ones.

This game involves a suspended bamboo lattice tied with goodies which is lowered up and down to the eager players standing underneath. The players will then grab the goodies and get to keep whatever they could get. While the game is exciting, it can become quite dangerous when some players start to get violent just to get what s/he is aiming for.

7 | Pukpok Palayok

Pukpok Palayok is best played outdoors with no maximum number of players.

The local version of the piñata, pukpok palayok involves a clay pot called palayok instead of papier-mâché. The player is positioned a few meters away from the pot, gets blindfolded, spun around, and must walk towards the pot. The crowd distracts and confuses the player by yelling directions. Each player is given one to three chances to hit the pot. If the player missed it, s/he will have to go back in line and wait for her/his turn to try again. If the player hits the pot, the audience can get the goodies like candies, coins, and toys falling from the pot. The player who broke the pot is declared a winner and gets a prize.

8 | Tomato Dance

Tomato Dance can be played both indoors and outdoors played by partners.

The game requires partners to dance with a big, red tomato pressed between their faces. Partners must prevent the tomato from falling to the ground or from disintegrating else they’ll be eliminated. The last team standing is declared as the winner.

9 | Egg Relay

Egg Relay can be played both indoors and outdoors by at least two teams.

To play this game, players are divided into groups of equal size. The first player will then carry their egg on the spoon from the starting to a turnaround point and back again. The egg is then passed off to the next teammate who takes their turn. Players must be careful not to let the egg fall off the spoon else they will be required to stop, pick up the egg, and start again. The team who completes the relay first is declared as the winner. 

10 | Pop the Balloon

Pop the Balloon can be played both indoors and outdoors by at least two teams.

Players are divided into groups of equal size. Each player is given a balloon and each team has a chair positioned a few meters away from the starting line. As soon as the go signal is given, the first player of the team runs to the chair, sits on it to pop the balloon, and return to the team so the next players can take their turn. The first team to pop all their balloons is declared as the winner.

In another version of the game, a player sits on the chair so the first player can pop the balloon by sitting on his/her lap. Once the first player popped the balloon, s/he will replace the player sitting on the chair. With the first player sitting on the chair, the second will then pop the balloon by sitting on the lap of the first player. The process is repeated until every member of the team has their balloon popped.

Yet another version, one player leans on the chair while another place the balloon in between them so together they can pop the balloon while standing.

While these games are commonly played by children during birthdays and fiestas, they are played by adults as well during Christmas parties, reunions, team-building activities, and others.  Just one more reason why … “It’s More Fun in the Philippines”.

#2 Guess the Song Wedding Games

For groomsmen, they have to guess the song title correctly to get eliminated. The last person standing wins the garter.

In the end, the chosen groomsman and bridesmaid will have to mirror the newlyweds kiss.

#3 Garter Wedding Game with a Twist

All the single guys will play stop dance, then they will have to pass around the garter. Once the music stops, the guy holding the garter will be eliminated.

The last guy standing will sit with a small flower between his legs. Then the single ladies will have to get that flower, until one single lady is left.

The single guy and the single lady will then be paired.

#4 Bouquet Throwing with a Twist

For the girls, instead of the traditional bouquet throwing, we had them form a circle. The bride is in the middle, and the single ladies are facing outside the circle.

They have to pass around the bouquet as the music plays. Once it stops, the lady holding the bouquet is automatically chosen!

#5 Ultimate Dance Challenge

Best dancer wins! No other rule.

While the wedding guests enjoy the show 🙂

#6 The Magic Saging

Yes, you read that right, The Magic Saging. Not Magic Sing.

The chosen guy will sit in the middle of the single ladies with a banana between his legs.

The single ladies have to catch the banana. Of course, the last single lady standing will be paired to the lucky guy!

#7 Acting Game

The couple needs to prepare a couple of famous lines from Tagalog movies and tv series.

Then, the participants will have to pick one and act it out.

Best actor or actress wins the game!

By the way, this is a game idea by Erin Joan Yang-PoncedeLeon.

#8 Traditional Game

We all know the traditional wedding games: bouquet throwing and garter throwing.

Perfect for traditional couples!

#9 Pull the Ribbon

The single ladies will have to pick a ribbon connected to the bouquet.

Once everyone is holding the end of the ribbon, they will have to pull it to find out which ribbon will stay connected.

Only one ribbon remains and the single lady holding the end of it will win!

#10 Trip to Jerusalem with a Twist

This wedding game is similar to the Magic Saging. But more challenging.

Instead of using a banana, they use different vegetables every single round. From huge vegetables down to chili.

Now, imagine grabbing a chili in between a guy’s legs! Enough to make the crown go wild.

#11 Bet on Your Bride/Groom

We prepared video na minute to win it game style namin ni Hubby.

Each table will have a representative to guess who will win. Once they told us their guess, that’s the time we will play the video to reveal the winner.

#12 Find the Garter

The single ladies will be blindfolded. Then they will have to search for the lucky guy’s body to find the garter.

The first one to find the garter will be paired with the lucky groomsman.

#13 Dance Battle with a Twist

The groomsmen will have to do a dance battle and the couple will choose the two finalist.

And to make this more exciting, these two gents will have to showoff their dancing skills.

During the final showdown, the host will choose the grandwinner to be paired with the lucky lady.

We prepared two boxes filled with the names of our single friends. The first box is filled with single guys’ names, and the second box is for the single ladies. Then, we will pick one from each box to pair them.

Well, that’s what the audience know.

Because each box contain only 1 name. Yes, we set them up!

#15 Plane Ticket Raffle

This one is also a setup disguising as a raffle!

These two single friends expected to win an RT ticket. Instead, we did a little matchmaking for them.

#16 Dance Challenge

Both the groomsmen and the bridesmaids had to dance!

#17 Trip to Jerusalem and Tissue Box Wedding Games

The first game is Trip to Jerusalem with the bridesmaids, similar to the Magic Saging game.

Then, the groomsmen will have to play the tissue box game. They will need to shoot the ball inside the tissue box without using their hands. To make this fun, the losing guy will be blindfolded before he puts the garter to the lucky lady’s legs.

But wait, there will be some surprise!

There’s no lucky lady.

Because the guy who won the tissue box game will play the role of the lucky lady.

This will surely be fun since the blindfolded guy will have to keep guessing. Watch out for their reactions.

#18 Who Knows the Couple Better

Even before the actual program started, the time when we’re changing and prepping for the reception, we had a “who knows the couple better” challenge. The guests who got the right answers were treated with a specialized tote bag.

#19 Bouquet Carousel

There will be ribbons connected to the bridal bouquet , and the single ladies need to pick one ribbon.

As the music plays, the single ladies will have to dance around the bride.

And while the bride is blindfolded, she needs to cut the ribbons around her bouquet. The person holding the last ribbon connected to the bridal bouquet wins!

#20 Reverse Charades

#22 More Kiss Marks, More Chances of Winning

We chose couples for the game. The guys were provided with white shirts then they put on lipstick to the girls.

The guy wearing the shirt with most number of kiss marks wins!

#23 Shoot the Ball

Who says we can’t play basketball during wedding reception ?

#24 Guess the Song per Table

Our wedding band singer will sing a song and one representative per table will raise his/her hand to give their group answer.

Prize is Ferrero chocolate sponsored by my sister Ingrid.

#25 Feeding Bottles Wedding Games

#26 Girl, Guy, and Gay

We picked one bridesmaid and one groomsman for this game. They will have to mirror us, the newlyweds, when we kiss.

But we have a twist!

We also called in a gay friend.

The groomsman had to mirror the kiss to both the bridesmaid and the gay friend!

Wedding Game idea by Arrah Gallardo-Alvarez.

I had to throw the bouquet three times to make sure my chosen classmate gets the bouquet!

#28 Twerk Challenge

If you think the regular dance challenge is boring, you can always spice it up with some twerking!

#29 Find the safety pin wedding games

Ladies will be blindfolded as they search the lucky guy’s body for the hidden safety pins. The single lady who couldn’t find the safety pin will be paired to this lucky guy.

Watch out where will they find the hidden safety pins!

#30 Beauty Contest

Just like in any beauty contest, this game involves some cat walk and introduction.

While they are doing some fashion show, the audience will determine the winner based on the volume of claps.

#31 Budots Dance Challenge

I hope you enjoyed all these fun indoor wedding games!
