Categories list
Here’s a list of categories you can use to play a number of games that involve thinking of as many items in a category as you can. Examples of categories include things that are red, types of fast food, or things that melt.
Date night series: Dream home sweepstakes
Drumroll please… CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve just won a build-your-own-dream-home sweepstakes (hypothetically speaking, that is)! Woo hoo! Happy music! Anything in the store you both see, want, agree on, and write down will be installed in your future dream home (hypothetically speaking, that is). Included is a free printable for this date night activity.
License plate search
The license plate search game: look for license plates from every state. Included is a free printable check-off list with all 50 states that you can use to play the license plate search game on car trips or road trips.
Date night series: Road trip treats
What it is: A creative date night activity involving reminiscing about favorite convenience store treats from your childhood. All you need is a convenience store or gas station, the included free printable, and a little money to spend.
Baby or bridal shower question game
A shower should be all about the guest of honor, of course, but it’s fun to hear from and get to know all of your guests. This printable questionnaire can be given out at bridal or baby showers. Guests fill out their answers and you read the answers aloud for some good laughs.
Date night series: Gift shopping
A creative date night activity involving shopping for cheap at a bookstore (like Barnes & Noble) with a good bargain section.
Get-to-know-you scramble
A version of the game fruit basket where players learn different traits about each other, mixed in with some competition and fast feet action. A great get-to-know-you game.
Sardines (or backwards hide and seek)
Instructions on how to play sardines, a reverse form of hide and seek where one player hides and it’s up to the rest of the players to quietly find them.
Psychic
If you want to see if you and your friends are gifted with any psychic abilities, give this game a try. Players take turns saying numbers out loud to see how high they can count, with a twist.
Photo scavenger hunt
Photo scavenger hunts: Get a list of things to take pictures of and go out and shoot some photos! Included in this post are four different lists for different occasions (at the mall, at home, at the park, and one for anywhere).
