As an alternative way to enjoy an already popular party entertainment function game, strip beer pong has been reaching unprecedented levels of popularity ever since an innovative fellow realized that he could fashion a sheet into a style of garment popularly worn with ancient roman senators and men of similar stature and potentially similar morals to the present day college going student. Learn more about this topic in the paragraphs below.

This simple drinking game has, indeed, very humble origins as it frequently consists of nothing more than a table, a certain quantity of inexpensive plastic cups, and a larger quantity of inexpensive alcoholic beverage, most often beer.

There are usually two teams, of either two, three, or four players and multiple such cups set up in a triangle formation on either side of the table. It is important to know that as this popular impromptu game varies greatly from place to place, there are, in fact, no official rules.

However, there are certain easily to identify steps in any such impromptu merriment. Each team will start out standing behind their carefully arranged cups filled with alcohol. These cups are most of ten arranged in a triangular fashion. Then, the teams will alternate taking shots at each other’s cups attempting to make the ping pong ball land in a cup.

If it does land, the team whose cup it landed on must then consume the contents of such cup. It is important to note that some amount of preparation by carefully dusting the playing area and the ball beforehand can prevent an embarrassing interlude where the guests find their drinking hampered by unwanted dust bunnies.

The end game of this popular form of entertainment is a particularly tricky business to navigate as the game can end via several factors, the most important one being that the host runs out of beer, but if that is avoided, it can end when the winning team makes the shot into the last cup filled with alcohol. Under some house rules, the losing team can attempt to make in one shot the remaining cups filled with beer of the winning team.

As a form of entertainment that is meant solely for merriment of the younger, more attractive crowd, it is not surprising that eventually a variant that involves removal of clothing was made onto the scene. After all, if consumption of alcohol does not result in removal of clothing items, such consumption is frequently wasted.

Alcohol’s suitability to gradual removal of clothing is a link that has been historically known to merry makers everywhere. Therefore, strip beer pong was a natural step in the evolution of the party game to its worldwide acceptance.

I had always wanted to attend a murder mystery party but have never been presented with the chance. On my 26th birthday I decided that if I ever wanted to go to a murder mystery party, I had to make it happen. I had tremendous fun searching for the party I wanted to host from among the hundreds, even thousands, of the party packs that are available. You can buy them from toy or game shops. You can also find them on the internet second hand and sometimes in charity shops. EBay is another source and there are also some specialty websites that are solely dedicated to selling murder mystery games. You decide on whatever interests you. You can choose games for four to forty players, although I recommend keeping it smallish (8-12 people works great). You need to invite a suitable group of people that are willing to dress up and get into character. I am fortunate enough to have an exciting bunch of friends and family members who really get into the game.

After you have the guest list in mind and the game has been selected, the creative time arrives. The first priority is to check to see if everyone is free and set the party date. Next you need to assign characters to each party member and send them an information pack regarding their game role. The game instructions will tell you exactly what you need to do and in what order. You will send each person an invitation along with a description of their character, which will guide them regarding costume and background information. I remember my guests got so excited when they received the invitation to my first party. Most people have never been to a party like that before and are eager to try something new.

The next part involves planning; you have plenty of planning to do. I love organising and cooking, so hosting parties is a lot of fun for me and I make every effort to host grand events. For my first party, I hosted an event with a Titantic theme and served a 12 course meal! I actually researched details about the Titantic and came across a menu, so I simply based my own menu around that. I also looked into the etiquette from that time period and made a list of rules for each “passenger.” Then I found some music appropriate for that era and played it for the background music. What makes the experience much more fun and authentic is paying attention to the small details. To save some on the party expenses, I asked each guest to bring champagne, red wine, or port. My second party was an Alice in Wonderland party and I decided for it to not be a set meal, but rather a selection of cookies, cakes, tarts, sandwiches, fairy bread and pies. For my party, I made everything from scratch, but you don’t have to go to that much trouble unless you just feel like it. You can ask your guests to bring a plate of something if you like. Just use whatever system works best for you. Hiring a costume for the event can be expensive, so to help with a tight budget guests can borrow a costume, shop at a charity store, or create something from clothing they already have.

The instructions for the game are thorough and will teach you how to make the dialogue booklets for each character. There are also clues and evidence for the party and the solution (which should be put in a sealed envelope and hidden). All you need to do is follow the party pack instructions and enjoy yourself at the event. Make sure the game that you have selected is age appropriate. If kids or teenagers are coming then you might need to choose a younger game. I specifically chose games for adults only and they were quite scandalous!

There are several reasons why murder mystery parties are so much fun. It is a lot of fun to dress up in a character costume. It is exciting to play the role of someone else. It is great to be surrounded by fun and interesting people. It is also really enjoyable to drink great wine and eat delicious food. It is fun to put your brain to work to analyze the clues and solve the murder mystery. Your guests will leave the party ranting about what a great time they had, and you will experience great satisfaction in knowing you gave them the opportunity to attend such an enjoyable party!

Any party with a beer bong present is going to be loud, messy and great fun. Guys and girls who should know better, stag parties and of course frat houses all need this piece of kit to get things going with not so much of a bang and a gurgle as beer rapidly hits the back of the throat.

Alternately known as a beer funnel, because that is what it is when it comes down to it, a beer bong combines the flexibility of a long piece of pipe with the alcohol holding capacity of the aforementioned funnel. Simple technology but requires some skill to operate.

To prevent the beer falling straight out, you need to hold the end of the hose shut. Folding it up works and this is normally done by the recipient or victim. The person pouring then climbs on something high like a stool or counter-top and holds the bong up ready to be filled. At this point it is useful to have the preferred beverage with you and open ready to go.

Once everyone is in the correct positions, drinker with tube near mouth and person pouring on furniture with booze, let the fun commence. The funnel is filled and the victim has to try to chug all the booze without spilling any. Not a simple thing when gravity is assisting.

The funnel is a right of passage in many dive communities. The Red Sea Resort of Sharm El Sheikh has many divers who have all suffered this fate upon passing their Dive Master exam or Instructor course. The truly evil teacher will also make the student wear a mask which prevents breathing through the nose and thus the drinking part a lot harder. To top things off, spirits such as tequila and whiskey are added to the mix.

Once the concoction of alcohol has been consumed, the most frequent reaction of the recipient is to go and be sick. Some make it as far the toilets, but many find the combination of bubbles and guzzling just too much for their stomach and hurl instantly. This can be very funny when people new to the procedure do not get out of the way fast enough. Old hands stay well back or wear protective clothing.

Being such a simple design, beer bongs can be created at home by rummaging through kitchen cupboards or raiding the garden shed. If you want one that is a little bit classier though they can be bought online and shipped direct to your party.

Whenever your kiddo turns another year older, to be sure that that special day is jam packed with fun, children birthday party games should definitely be part of the mix. So here are some to help you out, whether your child is a pre-schooler or is on the brink of turning into a tween.

Pre-Schoolers

One game that is definitely a hit for the younger crowd is musical chairs. It is simple enough for little kids to understand but even adults can even join in on the fun. Basically, you have to arrange chairs in a circle. When counting, there has got to be one less chair than there are players. Basically, you dance around the chairs in sort of like a mambo line while the music is playing, but once it stops, you have to aim to beat the others to a chair. Last one standing is out. Each round, remove one chair until there are only 2 people left fighting over the last chair. The person sitting when the music fades is the winner.

Balloon pop is another awesome game. The game is pretty much the way it sounds. You release a number of balloons on the floor or wide area then allow the kids start sitting on them and popping them. To add a little bit of competitiveness as well as cooperation, you can divide the tiny tots into teams and give them an equal number of balloons to pop. Every team will be given an equal amount of balloons to pop, first team to do so is the winner.

5-8 Year Olds

Newspaper dance is another classic game that never fails. Put the kinds into twos and give each pair a newspaper. Play some music and have the tiny tots dance around the paper. When the music comes to a stop, both children have to stand on the newspaper without any of their feet touching the ground. You fold the newspaper in half with every turn. Any pair that falls or if even just one player’s foot is touching the ground is out. The last pair standing on the smallest piece of folded newspaper is the winner.

Yet another game played by pairs is funny bone. Practically, you give the players a set of body parts that they have to connect. For example, you say the finger is connected to the ear. So player A has to put one of his fingers on player B’s ears. Sounds simple, but the players have to hold their poses throughout the game unless the same body part is used again. Those who fail to do so are out. The remaining pair is the winner.

Games For 9-12 Year Olds

Scavenger hunt always promises a lot of fun. This is just the sort of game that appeals to older children , but if played in teams, the younger ones can join too. You will have to have clues that lead to other clues prepared. Also, every team will be given a list of things that they have to gather throughout the game. First team to complete the check list and give it back to you is the winner.

Another simple and easy yet super fun game is the longest line. This game is also done in teams wherein each member has to help make up the longest line by using their bodies, their clothes, just about whatever they can get their hands on. You can even set the rues on what can be used in the game. You have to time the game for about 5-10 minutes. The winning team is the one with the longest line at the end of the provided time. Just make sure that you have a wide area ready for this game.

These games are the ones that don’t ever fail. So check that you have them on your list and make your child’s big day full of fun and activities.
