>>>> Шарады: *!*
Все люди разбиваются на две команды (эники-беники). Одна из команд идёт в соседнюю комнату, или просто отходит подальше от другой команды, насколько это возможно. Каждая команда выдумывает слово, чтобы его загадать человеку из другой команды. Слово должно быть достаточно сложным и смешным для пантомимы. Недавно, например, мы использовали следующие слова: Невидимый, Гиппопотам, Креветка, Сенатор, Ублюдок, Дельфин, Дальтоник, Пластмасса. Затем та команда, которая первая выдумала слово, выбирает одного человека из другой команды, чтобы тот артистической пантомимой изобразил это слово. Обычно игра в шарады проходит очень весело и интересно. Всегда очень забавно смотреть, как выбранный человек изображает слово, и слушать догадки членов его команды, которые отгадывают, что это за слово (рубашка, одежда, сумасшедший, одержимый и т.д. в случае Дальтоника). По желанию, можно установить определённый срок (3 мин) на отгадывание каждого слова, но обычно это нервирует людей, расстраивает человека, который изображает слово, и может вызвать нежелательную ажитацию (да-да!), так что я предлагаю играть в Шарады просто ради удовольствия и веселья!

>>>> На самом деле существует ещё один вариант игры в Шарады, и его суть состоит в загадывании слов, и отгадывании их по слогам, например:

Сначала идёт цифра. Потом кошки мужского пола, их столько, как в цифре. Затем идёт согласная, обычно такой звук издают мухи. Слово целиком означает тип ткани. >>3-кота-жжж (трикотаж)<<
Сначала предлог, показывающий положение той или иной вещи, относительно другого предмета. Потом идёт глагол, обозначающий состояние, а так же раздумья Гамлета. Слово целиком является печальным следствием атеросклероза или самовнушения. >>За-Быть (забыть)<<

Этот спокойный и раздумчивый вариант Шарад особенно хорош, когда все играющие устали до неподвижности, или если на Вашей вечеринке присутствуют люди за 70 лет.

>>>> Мафия: Русская игра для вечеринки. *!*
Все люди (как минимум 7) разделяются на Граждан и два члена Мафии (чтобы разделить людей, раздайте всем карты - все красные и две чёрные, шашки - все белые и две чёрные, и проч.). Так же в игре должен быть ведущий, который раздаёт карты и ведёт игру (выберите любого человека по правую руку, в следующей игре ведущим станет другой участник по часовой стрелке). Все смотрят на розданные им карты/шашки, и тайно определяют, Мафия они или Граждане. Ведущий говорит: «Ночь, все закрыли глаза, а Мафия не спит.». Так, члены Мафии знакомятся друг с другом. Потом наступает день, и все участники выясняют, кто же Мафия, и голосованием решают, кого убить. Они убивают одного из участников (он выбывает из игры), и смотрят на его карту - мафия ли он. Во всё это время обсуждения и голосования, члены Мафии должны глазами и знаками договориться, кого убить ночью (потому что следующей ночью им уже не будет разрешено открыть глаза). Затем ведущий говорит: «Наступает ночь. Все закрывают глаза. Мафия показывает с закрытыми глазами, кого они хотят убить.». Если оба члена мафии показали на одного и того же человека, то, когда наступает день, ведущий объявляет, что мафия убила такого-то участника. Если члены мафии не смогли показать на одного и того же человека, то в эту ночь никто не убит. Днём Граждане (и Мафия, маскируясь под Граждан) решают, кто же может быть Мафией и убивают кого-нибудь. И т.д. Выигрывает Мафия, если осталось 2 члена Мафии и 2 или 1 Гражданин. Граждане выигрывают, если им удаётся убить всю Мафию. Мафия -- это смешная, психологическая игра.

>>>> Toilet Paper: American Party Game.
This game works if there is a lot of new people at the party, and they do not know each other. Leader brings the roll of Toilet Paper, and asks players to get as much paper, as he/she normally uses in the bathroom. When everybody takes pieces of paper, the Leader says, that now everybody will tell as many short fun stories about himself/herself, as many sheets of Toilet Paper he/she has got. While telling the stories, players are tearing apart their Toilet Paper, to show how many stories they got left.

>>>> Take Your Seat: Asian Game.
("Music Chairs" is the other name of the game). If there is not enough chairs in the room they can be substituted for the squares of paper, put on the floor. Chairs/papers should be one less then the players. Leader starts the music and everybody is dancing, then Leader turns off the music, and everybody should sit down on a chair/paper. The one who does not have a chair should start the next dance alone, and then be surrounded by the other players.

>>>> Pass the Parcel with Forfeits NEW!
Wrap a bar of chocolate (or some other gift), in a layer of paper. Now wrap it in another layer and repeat until you have about 10 layers. Every layer should contain a forfeit (E.g Sing a song, Eat a teaspoon of Mustard, have your belly button filled with water). Finally wrap it in gift paper (so it looks nice).
Sit everyone in a circle and play a short snippet of music. When the music stops, the person holding the parcel removes ONE layer of wrapping and sings a song, eats mustard, etc. Repeat until the last layer of wrapping has been removed. The winner keeps the present.

>>>> Who am I NEW!
As they arrive each person has a piece of paper pinned to their back. The paper contains the name of a famous person. By asking questions which can only be answered with "Yes" or "No" such as "Am I one of my friends?", "Am I fictional?", "Am I Dostoevsky's hero?", etc. the person has to guess their name. Successful guessers may have another go.

>>>> Improvisation NEW!
Form teams of two. Each team is given an object to perform with, in as many creative ways as possible. E.g. A hoola-Hoop

* Hold it around you and say "A useful thing during the rush hour in a bus"
* Put it on your neck and say "This is New Millennium necklace from Versace"
* Put it on the floor around you as your protection on a spiritual ritual
* Hold it in front of you and say "Welcome to the circus, you tigers!"

Ideas for objects include: Hoola Hoop; Malibu Board; Tennis Racket; Football; Lampshade

>>>> Associations: Russian Game. *!* NEW!
This game was our favorite in high school, and we still play in it. It is universal game, because you can play in it even if there is only two of you, in-doors or out at the wildeness, day or night, anytime, anywhere—that*s how this game is wonderful!! It is also sophisticated and fun. I have a feeling that it was created by our dearest History teacher S.A. Kretova. So, the rules are: the person who starts thinks of the other person who is known to all the participants of the game. They are starting to ask associative questions about that person, trying to guess who it is. The questions are like: —What*s the color of his/her name? (White). —What*s the music that goes the best with this person? (Jazz). —What cloths would suit just perfectly for him/her? (Silk camisole). —What beverage reflects the essence of this person? (Sprite). —What animal does this person reminds you of? (Cat) Etc, etc. Usually only three guesses are allowed, and then it means that the team (or the only one player who plays with you) has lost the game. While thinking of the associations you should try your best to reflect this person in a most correct way (Merilin Monroe—White, Jazz, Silk camisole, Sprite, Cat. Charli Chaplin—Brown, Foxtrot, Old-fashioned hat, Whiskey, Energetic pinguin. Think of your own associations). The most fun will be if everybody in your company knows the same real life person (or just think of somebody from the players, it will make it even more fun!). The game requires some analitical thinking and develops in you a sort of non-traditional approach to the people, ideas and things. Enjoy!

>>>> Zhmurki: Russian Game.
Of all the players one person is to be chosen to become a Zhmurka: He/she is to be given a scarf to put around his/her head to keep his eyes closed during the game. Then players make Zhmurka to make a turn around in order to loose orientation, and the game begins. Zhmurka is supposed to catch one player (players usually try to make fun of Zhmurka, thus coming closer to him/her to touch or pounch him/her). Then Zhmurka needs to detect whom he/she had catch by the touch or by the sound of the voice of the catched person. It*s real fun to play Zhmurki (it*s plural of Zhmurka "Жмурка" in Russian, and Zhmurka means "a person with his eyes shut"), but other players should warn Zhmurka, if he/she is about to bump into something dangerous, like a corner of a table, etc. This also will help Zhmurka to catch some of the other players.

>>>> I Have Never NEW!
Each person receives several counters (toothpicks, pennies, etc.)
Then take turns around the circle. Each person tells of something they have never done (example: I have never broken a bone or I have never traveled out of the country). Anyone who has done this must give the speaker one of their toothpicks or pennies. After going around the circle several times, the person with the most tokens wins.

>>>> Real Nasty: American Game. *!*
It*s good to play this game when everybody (including underagers) is drunk. Each player comes up with an indecent name for himself/herself. Last time we were: Slut, Dirty fuck, Fuck wet, Wide Open Beaver, Tits, Cunt, Dork, Asshole, Mother-fucker, and so on (try to identify me!, just kidding!). Then everybody sits down in a circle, and starts to clap on his/her knees. And then somebody starts: He/she should say his name, and then a name of a person, he wants to continue the game, looking at this person. So, it is continuous clap-clap-clap, and "Wide Open Beaver—Cunt", then Cunt says: "Cunt—Dirty fuck" and so on. The person loses if he/she forgets his/her name for the game, or the name of the other person. The one who loses should drink a shot, and start a game anew.

>>>> We shall overco-o-ome
I believe you all know the way the old British song goes:

We shall overco-o-ome,
We shall overco-o-ome,
We shall overcome someda-a-a-a-ay,
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.

Players are to substitude the first (and main) line in this song with anything that comes to their minds. Let me give you some examples:

We*ll have naked pa-arty,
We*ll have naked pa-arty,
We*ll have naked party right no-o-o-o-ow,
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe,
We*ll have naked party right away.

Мы сейчас напьё-омся,
Мы сейчас напьё-омся,
Мы сейчас напьёмся в сте-е-е-ельку,
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe,
Мы сейчас напьёмся наконец.

We*ll go for a tri-i-ip,
We*ll go for a tri-i-ip,
We*ll go for a ski trip next ti-i-i-i-ime,
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe,
We*ll go for a ski trip, oh, wow!!

The idea of this game is simple: all the participants sit down in a circle, and somebody starts to sing the first and classical part of the song. The person on his/her left has to continue, but with his/her own words and so for. The refrain, which stays the same (Oh, deep in my heart I do believe) should be sing out by everybody. After the game goes round for a couple of times, the winner is obvious—it*s the funniest guy or a girl whose lines of the song made everybody laugh.

>>>> Chinese whispers NEW!
Sit everyone in a circle. Whisper a long phrase to one person. They, in turn, whisper what they heard to the next person, and so on. The last person announces what they heard.

>>>> Guess the Picture NEW!
This one is a good game to get people talking together at the start of the party. Collect a set of pictures of your town, school, or even make a clip art out of the enlarged faces of your friends (do this fun enough and not in offensive way!) and display them on the wall with a number. The guests have to identify the images and write the name of each one on their personal sheet of paper. The winner is the one with the highest score.

More party games to come!
