Games

Games suitable for RHS events where the ladies are up and moving around.

~ Beanbag toss

Beanbag toss is a simple game where players take turns to throw small rice/bean filled bag into a target. There are many ways to play, so it can be tailored to match the theme of your event, for example using a plastic cauldron for a Halloween themed toss.   Sewing guides to make your own bean bags: (You may like to use red and purple fabrics for fun Hatter coloured beanbags!) * Triangle beanbags * Square beanbags   No-Sew bags If you can’t sew, you can still make your own beanbags. You could use rice-filled balloons or buy velvet giftbags and fill those with rice – if doing this, you may want to put the rice inside a balloon or other sealed bag inside the giftbag, in case the bag splits and to stop rice leaking out where it’s tied at the top.   The target There are options for what the target/goal will be. * One basket or bucket * A series of smaller baskets or buckets with increasing point scores. * A series of paper plates with increasing point scores * Pool noodles bent into a ring and taped closed * Several shape cutouts (hats, stars etc.) with different points for each * A tablecloth with a grid or lines marked on it for different points  

~ Unwrap The Present

A bit like the chocolate game mixed with pass the parcel. Wrap a small item in layers of wrapping paper, as you would for pass the parcel. Have this in the centre of a circle, along with a pair of oven mitts, a hat and a scarf.   Players take turns to roll the dice. When a player rolls a 6 they can go into the centre, put on the clothing items and start unwrapping the layers until someone else rolls a 6 and replaces them. Whoever unwraps the last layer to reveal the prize gets to keep the item.  

~ Musical Hat

Everyone sits in a circle. A Red hat containing small envelopes (each with a note inside) is passed around to music. When the music stops, the person holding the hat must stand up, choose an envelope at random and read out the activity shown on the paper and act it out. This may be something like doing the “I’m a little teapot” song, the “chicken dance”, Recite a poem etc.  

~ The Chocolate Game

Have everyone sit around in a circle. An unwrapped block of chocolate with a knife and fork should be in the centre, along with a hat, scarf and gloves (big bulky gloves makes for a funnier game, so you could use oven mitts or welding gloves). Everyone takes turns to roll a die, when someone rolls a 6 they can go into the centre and put on the clothing then use the knife and fork to cut squares of chocolate. They can only eat the chocolate if it has been cut while wearing all the clothing items. While they are dressing and cutting, everyone continues to keep rolling. When someone else rolls a 6, they go into the centre and the first person must take the hat/scarf/gloves off and go back to their place.   If cutting a block of chocolate is going to be too difficult for the ladies to be able to do, you could substitute this for other options such as: * A bowl of wrapped lollies and they have to scoop one out with a teaspoon, unwrap it (with the gloves on) and eat it. * A large bowl of pre-cut chocolate squares, unwrapped lollies or chocolates and they have to use a pair of tongs to take one piece only, drop it into a paper cup and then when they get “out”, they get to eat them when they get back to their spot.   This can be a load of laughs because often the person in the middle hasn’t had a chance to even put all the clothing on before someone else rolls a 6 and goes to take their place.  

~ Pantyhose Golf or Bowling

Place a tennis ball in one leg of the pantyhose. You can then have the pantyhose tied around the waist by the empty leg, or wear them on your head (cut off or tuck in the remaining leg). Arms must be held behind your back. The winner is the first one to achieve the goal.   For “golf” the ladies need to use the swinging pantyhose to tap a pingpong ball across to the other side of the room. Perhaps onto a square of paper that will be the “hole” or have them need to knock it into a bucket laying on its side, or even a coffee mug for extra challenge.   For “Bowling” they need to knock over a series of small (empty or partially empty) water bottles.  

~ Musical Bag ‘O Clothes

Take a large bag (where you can’t see what’s inside) and fill it with an assortment of odd/unusual types of clothing articles. Items such as bras, swimsuits, girdles, baggy pants, men’s trousers, wigs, hats, etc.   Have the ladies sit in a circle so it’s easy for them to pass the bag around to each other. They pass the bag around in one direction, to music. When the music stops, whoever is holding the bag has to reach in without looking and pull out an item. Whatever they pull out, they have to put on and wear. Continue until you run out of items, then vote on who is wearing the wackiest outfit. You can give a prize.  

~ Famous Couples

A great ice breaker and way for ladies to get to know each other. Have the names of famous couples on separate pieces of paper. Put these into a hat and each person draws one piece of paper. They then have to find who their partner is and get to know them.   Examples: Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Prince William & Kate Middleton Kermit & Miss Piggy Barbie & Ken Superman & Lois Lane Mickey & Minnie Mouse John Lennon & Yoko Ono David Beckham & Victoria Beckham Romeo & Juliet Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones Cleopatra & Mark Antony Lancelot & Guinevere Fred Flintstone & Wilma Flintstone  

~ Literal Fashion Show

The idea is to take an outfit name, such as “bell bottoms” and make a literal version, for example attaching bells onto your derriere!   A selection of names for clothing items that could have literal meanings are placed in a hat and members draw one (keeping it secret), then at the fashion show (perhaps a week or two later) they show off the creations they have made. Having fun descriptions to read out as the ladies are showing off their creations would be good.   Click here for an example of Literal Fashion Show words/fashions  

~ Scavenger Hunt

This could be a good multi-chapter event – have a scavenger hunt where players need to find a list of items in a shopping centre or around an entire town!   There are numerous ways you can hold a scavenger hunt, so get creative. You can break everyone up into teams so that they can work on different items (which can be helpful if some ladies are more mobile than others). You can have them in one location – such as a shopping centre, or have them search around a whole town.   Depending on your questions and the event, you might have this run over a few hours or even a week or more. Players have a sheet of instructions and the list of items/things/locations/landmarks they are looking for. Make sure you specify if they are to bring back items or just photograph them, and if they need to enter any shops or if they are only to look from outside.   Click here for some ideas for big Scavenger Hunts  

~ Booty Shake

Each player will need to have an empty tissue box with pingpong balls inside. They have to hold it behind them on their butt (or you can make it with pantyhose as a belt that the players can tie the legs around their waists) and they shake their booty to make the balls fall out.   Set a timer (perhaps 1 minute), and the winner is the one who has emptied the most balls from their tissue box. You can play this in rounds if you don’t have enough sets for each player.  

~ Ping Pong Bowling

Stack paper cups up on the floor or table top (a row of 3, then a row of 2 and one on top), and have players take turns to bounce a pingpong ball to try and knock over the stack. Players get a set number of tries (3?) and score points for each cup knocked over.  

~ Table Golf (in pairs)

The ladies play in pairs, one pair at a time. One sits at end of table holding cup and the other rolls a pinpong ball down the table for the player holding the cup to catch it. Count how many caught balls in 1 min.  

~ Cup Stacking

You will need a stack of one coloured plastic/paper cups with a different colour one on the bottom. Players have to move the top cup to bottom of the stack, and continue doing this until the different coloured one is at the top of the stack. Winner is the first to get that different coloured cup to the top.  

~ Hot Flush

Mark off a starting point and end point on a tabletop. Players (one at a time) place their pingpong ball at the start point and use a handheld fan to fan the ball to the end goal. See who can get it there in the fastest time.  

~ Musical Hats

Played like musical chairs, but with hat shaped cutouts on the floor (or drawn on the floor with chalk). Players walk/dance around to the music, then when the music stops, players have to go stand on a hat, anyone not on a hat is out. (Please ensure that everybody plays safely so that nobody slips over if using cutouts!)  

Games suitable for RHS events where the ladies are seated (eg at a restaurant), and will need to have pens and paper.

~ What If?

This game has the players give answers to the wrong question, with the possibility of hilarious results.   Pass out two pieces of paper to each lady present. One will be a question sheet and the other will be the answer sheet.   On the first piece of paper they each write a question that starts with the words “What if ….? (eg: “What if …a Red Hatter lost her hat?”) (eg: “What if … your car battery runs flat?”)   The ladies pass this “what if” question to the lady on their LEFT.   Looking at the question they just received, the ladies write their answer to that question on their second piece of paper.   The question sheets are all placed in one bowl, and the answer sheets are placed in another bowl.   One question is drawn from the bowl randomly, and one answer is drawn from the other bowl randomly – and the question and answer are read out. 

~ Quizzes

You can theme your quizzHave a collection of questions, such as tv shows, music and fashion from the 60s. Read out the questions and have each lady write her answers. When the questions are finished, the ladies swap their papers and the scores are tallied up (swapping the papers for scoring ensures no cheating!) 

~ Continue the Story

Someone (perhaps the Queen) starts writing a story, by writing one word or one line of the story on a piece of paper. The paper is folded so that people cannot read the previous lines that have been written, so nobody will know what the story is about until it is read out. The paper is then passed to the next person, who adds their word/line and so on until everyone has had a turn. It can continue around again or the story be read out then when the last question has been answered, the story is read out.   The lines they write could be: An adjective describing a person’s appearance or character The name of a woman The word “met” and an adjective describing another person’s appearance and character The name of a man The word “at” and the place the woman met the man The circumstance under which they met The word “in” and when the met The words, ”He said to her…”, together with whatever he said The words “And she replied…”, together with whatever she said What he did then What she did then The words, “And the consequence was….” With detail of the consequence The words, “And the moral of the story is…..” 

~ Telegram

Give each player a sheet of paper and a pen or pencil. Each player in turn, calls out a letter of the alphabet at random, and all players write down the letters as they are called out. A list of about 15 letters should be formed in this way. The players then have five minutes in which to compose a telegram, the words of which must begin with the listed letters in the order they were given.   For Example: If the letters were H, A, I, I, B, B, A, U, T, L, D, H, S, A, O, C – one player might write: Have Arrived In Boston But Am Unable To Locate Deckchairs Hence Send All Over….Cynthia   Whereas another player might write: Hurry And Immediately Bring Back All Unused Tea Leaves ..stop.. Daddy Hates Sipping Ale Or Cola   When the 5 minutes are up each player reads his telegram, and the winner is the player whose telegram is judged to be the most sensible, the cleverest, the wittiest, the silliest, etc. 

~ Word Scrabble

Have a number of letters from a scrabble set (or make up large cardboard squares with different letters that the ladies can easily read). Each participant then has to write down as many words as they form, out of the letters within a certain time. Winner is the one with the most words. A short version can be “winner with most words starting with….” 

~ Name That Pie

Everyone has a piece of paper, and writes their answer to which pie these could be.

~ Drawn Together

Players are given a piece of paper and either a small pack of pencils/crayons each, or have a container of them on the table for everyone to use, then the players are told to look at each other, to remember what they look like – what clothing they are wearing and what accessories etc. (so that they aren’t caught looking at their person later).   Each player then picks a name at random from the hat – this is who they will draw on their piece of paper.   After everyone has finished their drawings, the drawings are held up for everyone to see, one by one. The players call out if they think the drawing is of them. If a player guesses correctly that the picture is of them, they get a prize. If they are also able to guess who drew the picture, that person also gets a prize. A prize can be awarded to the person who gets the most correct guesses. 

~ Name that Baby

Each lady brings a photo of themselves as a baby. Each photo then gets numbered and placed somewhere where everyone can see them.   Keep a list of the numbers and corresponding names hidden away. Everyone then guesses who the photos are. Give a prize to the one who can identify the most pictures. 

~ Guessing Jars

Have about 10 small jars (baby food jars or other similar size) with different kitchen items in each (no duplicates). Things like sugar, poppy seeds, cocoa, cinnamon, salt, instant coffee, etc. Number each jar.  Give each person playing a sheet of paper numbered to write their guesses of what each one is.   You cannot open the jar to smell, feel or taste. After tallying correct names, a prize is awarded to the person who correctly guessed the most.

~ Draw a Lady (Dice Game)

You will need one die, as well as a pen and paper for each lady. Each lady will roll the dice and draw the body part that corresponds with that number.   A fun way to play is so that they can draw any part in any order! If a part has already been drawn, they can’t do anything that turn and must wait for their next turn.   Roll a 1 – draw a hat with decorations Roll a 2 – draw the head Roll a 3 – draw the face & hair Roll a 4 – draw the upper torso & blouse Roll a 5 – draw a skirt Roll a 6 – draw legs/feet/shoes

~ Memory Game

Have a tray of items – they can be themed to the event or Red Hatter themed, covered in a cloth. Make sure all the ladies have a clear view of the tray then lift the cover and give them a period of time (10-20 seconds) to memorise what is on the tray.   Then the tray is covered and they need to write down as many things as they can remember that was on the tray. Winner is the player who recalled the most amount of items. Run a second round as a tiebreaker if needed with a short memory time.  

~ Know Your Hatter Bingo

As guests at the event arrive, give each a Bingo sheet/list that has items they need to check off by looking at and talking to the other attendees and perhaps noticing around the room. For example the items they may need to mark off could be: * Lady with purple earrings * Lady with purple shoes * A vase of red flowers * Someone whose name starts with S * Five pieces of gold jewellery   At a point in the event you can have the ladies tally up how many of the items they have marked off, and award a prize to the one who has marked off the most items.  

Games marked with * are listed here because the ladies will need pen/paper to tally up their points, however you could play this instead by giving each lady a token/lolly or something else instead of using pen/paper.

Games suitable for RHS events where the ladies are seated (eg at a restaurant), and don’t need pens and paper for writing.

~ Right & Left Games

This is a great alternative to using music for a ‘pass the parcel’. A story is read out that includes the words RIGHT and LEFT (sometimes also ACROSS and/or AROUND), and players pass the parcel according to the directions. (eg when the story says “LEFT” the parcel is passed one spot to the left.)   Click here for a RIGHT and LEFT Game.  

~ The Name Game

Have stickers with various famous people’s names on them. As everyone arrives to the event, place a sticker on their back, and they need to ask questions (that can only be answered “yes” or “no”) to guess which famous person they have on their sticker. Once they have guessed they can remove the sticker. You could give a prize to the first person to correctly guess who they are, or give a small prize to everyone when they correctly guess.

~ Handbag Scavenger Hunt

Place some scrabble tiles (or pieces of paper with each letter of the alphabet written on them) in a bowl or bag (1 of each letter). The ladies gathered around have their handbag with them. When you call out a letter chosen from the bowl, the ladies search their handbags to find something starting with that letter. Eg “L” might be lipstick, “P” might be a pen… The winner is the person with the most found items.

~ My Life in a Bag

Everyone brings a bag that contains little mementos or trinkets from their life. Everyone takes turns to show these items around and explain their significance in that person’s life. For example they could be photos, trophies, awards, ticket stubs…. anything!

~ This and That

Players sit in a circle. First player asks something that is “This” or “That”, The next player answers and asks the next player “This” or “That”. Continue playing until everyone has a turn, or keep going just to see how silly it can get. Example: Player 1 “Meat or Vegetables” Player 2 “Meat” – “Cotton or Flannel” Player 3 “Flannel” – “Soft Cheese or Hard Cheese” Player 4 “Soft” – “Popcorn or Crackers” Player 5 “Popcorn” …. and so on and so on……

~ Sales Pitch

Blindfold one lady and tell her that she must try to sell a mystery object. If she is convincing enough, she wins a prize. The object is placed in front of her, but she cannot touch it or see it. Everyone else can see what it is – and it’s a roll of toilet paper! She has to answer questions about the product she is selling.

~ Forbidden Words

Each player is given 1-2 cheap bead necklaces/bracelets or a clothes peg or something. (If seated they could have buttons/coins/lollies/tokens on table in front of them). There is a list of known “forbidden” words and when someone says one of them (during normal conversation), they have to give one of their items to the person who caught them saying the forbidden word. The winner is the one at the end of the event who has the most items. The words on the forbidden list can set as words relating to the specific event. You can make it easier or harder by which words you choose. For example: Valentines – Heart, Love, Roses, Chocolates etc. Halloween – Ghost, Spider, Pumpkin, Witch etc. Birthday – Birthday, Cake, Candle, Year, Age, Older, Celebrate

~ Name The Song

Someone starts by choosing any word they want, and the other players have to pick a song that has that word in it. Whoever gets it first, then it’s their turn to choose a word. If the group never heard the song before, they will ask you “I challenge you”, and that person has to sing a piece of the song. (Just so that everyone knows the person isn’t making it up!)

~ RIGHT and LEFT game

These games are a great way to do a “pass the parcel” without music. A story is read out, and every time the word RIGHT is spoken, the person holding the parcel hands it to the person on their right. When LEFT is spoken, the parcel is handed to the left. Some versions also include AROUND, where the person stands up and turns around, and ACROSS, where the parcel is handed across the table. You can find some different themed stories for various events like Christmas, St Patrick’s Day and so on. Click here for a Right & Left Game

~ Roll the Rainbow

  The aim of this game is for players to roll a die and mark off the colours that correspond with the number shown on each roll. Give each player a funsize bag of M&Ms/Skittles/Smarties to mark off their dice rolls or use tokens or mark them off with a pen.  Download the printable game sheets here. 

~ Pass Parcel (no music)

This version of “Pass The Parcel” uses notes on each layer to direct the person holding the parcel to pass it on to someone else (eg to pass to the lady with the biggest hat). Allowing it to be played without the need for music.   Click Here for Red Hatter Pass the Parcel 

~ Lucky Dice Game

  To play this game, each player is given 3 coins (or you can use tokens/small chocolate bars/packs of M&Ms etc.). The rest are put in a basket in the middle of the table. Set a timer, then each player takes turns to roll a die, and does whatever action matches the number they rolled. If it says to “Take a coin” they take one from the centre.   Players with no coins left can no longer roll the die, but could be back in the game if another player gives them one.   The winner is the player with the most coins when the timer goes off. Download Printable for this & the Rainbow Game Here  

Games that make use of chocolates/candy/lollies as part of the game.

~ The M&M Game

Pass a bag of M&Ms (or other lollies) and tell the ladies they may take some, but not to eat them yet. Have plenty available. Once everyone has taken their share, announce that they must tell everyone one fact about themselves for each M&M they have taken!

~ Candy Sorting

Each player is given a funsize bag of skittles/M&Ms/Smarties. Once the timer starts, they must race against each other to be the first to sort their lollies into separate coloured groups – moving the lollies one at a time. First to sort them all wins.  

~ How many lollies in the jar

Fill a clear glass jar with lollies (if you can match the type of lolly to the theme of your event that makes this more fun), then challenge all participants to guess how many lollies are in the jar. The person who gets closest to the right amount, wins the jar. You will need a pen and paper to record everyone’s guesses.   Themed ideas: Rainbow theme – M&Ms, Skittles, Smarties Beach theme – Pineapples, “Swim rings” (lifesavers) Halloween – Black Cats, Jelly snakes Valentines – heart shaped lollies, red/pink lollies, musk sticks General Hatter – Fun size cherry ripe & cadbury chocolates (red and purple) Easter – Mini candy easter eggs and/or brightly coloured wrapped sweets Christmas – Minties, Candycanes, rasperries and mint leaves   You can do a mix of different lollies and ask for a number of one particular lolly (eg “how many red gummybears”, “How many milk bottles”, “How many blue M&Ms”) Or have the ladies need to give a count of all lollies in total in the jar.   Having a backup “tiebreaker” might be a good idea in case you get 2 guesses that are both winners (Or require each guess to be unique so there are no double ups) For example if there are different coloured lollies, make sure you’ve counted them all as well, and then you can get the winners to guess how many of a certain colour there are, to narrow down one winner.   You could start a tradition within your chapter where whoever wins the jar then gets to fill it and bring it to the next event for the next person to win.  

~ Lolly Push

Each player has a small pile of flat lollies (anything that won’t roll around), a straw and a placemat with a start and end point (perhaps even a maze!).   When the timer starts, they must use the straw to blow the lolly from the start point to the end goal.  

~ Lolly Stack

Each player is given a pack of lifesavers (or other flat lolly). When the timer starts they race against each other to stack up their lollies into one stack (without them falling over) – first to stack all their lollies wins.  

~ Cheezel Chaser

Have a bowl full of Cheezles or other such food, and a straw for each player. With the straw in their mouth and without using their hands, each player takes turns to transfer as many cheezles from the bowl into a second bowl within the allocated time limit.   Winner is the player who manages to transfer the most cheezles in the time.  

~ Put a Ring on it

Each player has a pack of ring shaped lollies/foodstuffs (lifesavers, fruitloops or other such small food item with a hole in the centre), and a straw.   With the straw held in their mouth and without using their hands, the players have 1 minute to get as many of the lollies onto their straw as they can. Winner is the player with the most lollies on their straw.  

~ Balance Beam

Each player has an icypole stick and a pile of flat lollies. Holding the end of the icypole stick in their mouth, they have to put as many lollies on the stick as they can, and either walk across room (count how many fall off and how many stay on), or have them hold for 1 min (winner is one with most on the stick after the time ends)  

~ Spoon Sorting

Have a bowl of fruitloops (dry) either for each player or players can take turns with the one bowl, and each player has a teaspoon (or one of those long handled spoons). Players have to hold the end of spoon in their mouth and use the spoon to either: * Scoop out only one colour and transfer it to a second bowl (you can deduct a point for each of the wrong colour they transfer over) * Sort all colours into separate bowls (Again you can deduct a point for any wrongly sorted colour).   Another option is to have one big bowl and teams of people where two players at a time have to dig through to get all of their colour (their team’s colour) to take it to their bowl.  

~ Pie Face Version #1

Have a small plate for each player with something they need to find (eg small trinkets/large lollies) hidden under whipped cream (or to make it less messy, top it with rice bubbles or fruitloops instead of cream) – the first person to find all the hidden items wins.   You can put a discard bowl that they can spit out their mouthfuls of stuff onto, to stop them making a mess of the table.  

~ Pie Face Version #2

Each player has a paper plate with something written on it, then topped with whipped cream or some other edible foodstuff. Please make sure you do this in a food-safe way, perhaps writing it in heavy black marker then covering the plate in a layer of plastic wrap.   Players then race to clear the plate to reveal the hidden message. This could be a riddle or quizz question they need to answer, or a word to call out. The first player to call out the answer is the winner.
