Here’s a fun big group game to play with couples. In this group game for adults, you need an even number of players and music. Let the people dance in couples while the music is on and once the music stops, the couples have to pose for a proposal, marriage or a divorce. The poses for proposal can be one partner on their knees, for marriage it can be a hug and for divorce it can be a back to back pose. The conductor will then pick a chit that would read one of the three poses and everyone striking that pose will get out of the house party game.

In this big group game for adults where you first have to divide yourselves into 2 groups. Every member of one group will write an activity on two chits. After shuffling the chits distribute the chits between everyone in the audience. Once you play the music everyone has to act out the activity mentioned on their chit while also looking for the other player doing the same activity. Once they find the other player they silently have to gesture that player to sit down. The last pair to sit is then out for that round. Pairs will now share their activities with each other, and pairs that don’t have matching activities will lose the house party game.

This fun team game to play in a group needs two elements, a ping pong ball and a bedsheet. In this group house party game, you can team up with a partner and hold two ends of a blanket while another pair holds the other end of the blanket.

Big Group Games

9. Opposites Simon Says

The aim of this fun house party game is for players to do the exact opposite of what Simon says and doesn’t say. Just like the classic Simon says, the players cannot perform activities that Simon dosn’t tell them to do. But to add a twist, when Simon says something, you gotta do the opposite and when Simon says not to do something you have to do the same thing. For example, when Simon says to dance you gotta stand still. And when Simon says don’t dance you have to dance. Other than that when the conductor only screams dance you should not do anything.

10. Salt and Pepper

Here’s one of our favourite big group games that is the perfect ice-breaking team building activity at house parties for the office colleagues. For this fun group game, think of well-known pairs that go together like a nut and bolt, cookies and cream, Mickey and Minnie, salt and pepper, and write them on two chits separately. Now tape a chit on everyone’s back, and have them find their other half without telling them what’s on their back. They can figure it out by asking yes-no questions to the other players and when they do they have to figure 3 common things between them.

So there it was, some fun games to play in groups with your family and friends. These group games are suitable for small groups as well as big groups and can be the highlight of your house party.
