Home Party Games For Family Fun and Laughter

Home Party Games are especially popular during the summer and are often a way that a family can bond and enjoy each other's company during the winter holidays, as well. Coming up with home party games the whole family can enjoy may be challenging depending on the ages of children and relatives involved.

There are some new home party games that families are enjoying which involve new technology, such as Guitar hero, or Rock Star, but the good old fashioned games can still be the most fun and most affordable to enjoy. They may take some creativity, but most of them involve teamwork when you have larger numbers of people.

Water Balloon Olympic Games For Summer Months:
For summer months, you can always play home games that can cool you down on a hot summer afternoon, like a water balloon toss, water balloon bowling and water balloon relays. Some families have come up with creative ideas involving water balloons like playing water balloon baseball with a waffle ball set. If you break the water balloon when you hit it, you get an instant home run. Some of the easy home games might require a little preparation, but not much else.

Scavenger Hunts Are Fun Home Parties Or A Day At The Park Game:
A picnic at the park can be made especially fun with a scavenger hunt. By making up a list of things you might find in a park, such as a gum wrapper, matchbook, black rock or a certain kind of leaf or flower, you can divide up into teams and all ages can participate to find common items.

Another variation of this game might be similar to an Easter egg hunt, where you hide a list of items and the teams have to scurry to find the most items before the other teams find them. This is one of the easy home games that you can do before the guests arrive, and doesn't involve much work. You might want to try a variation of the game where you put a point value on each item. The harder to find items are worth more points.

During the winter months, it may be a little harder to find a home party game that the whole family will enjoy. When the winter doldrums set in, some of the old standbys like charades, musical chairs and the telephone game are fun to include the whole family. Of course, board games and card games are favorite standbys, but you can also come up with contests where you have teams compete in making decorations as an added benefit.

Winter Home Party Games Contests:
A pumpkin decorating or gingerbread house contest can be fun and leave you with home decorations for the seasons. Making log cabins using pretzel sticks and icing with candy accessories is something that each individual can do, and it is a good way to keep children busy. Grapevine wreath or pine wreath decorating is another fun family activity. Of course, building a snowman or a good old-fashioned snowball fight is fun for those in snowy regions.

Home party games need to involve all ages to be enjoyable. Using a little creativity goes a long way in creating games, and some of the old standbys are still the best way to have fun with the entire family.
