NAME THAT TUNE - Divide your guests into teams and everyone plays at once. Play the first 5 to 10 seconds of a song and whoever calls out the name of the song first receives 1 point for their team. If they also know the artist, they receive 1 additional point. If they are wrong, they lose 1 point for their team and they can't guess again on that song. If no one can figure out the song from the first 5 to 10 seconds of play, then allow the song to continue playing until some guesses correctly. The team with the most points wins!

I NEVER DID THAT! - Give everyone 10 to 15 pennies. Each person in the group tells everyone something they have never done. If the other guests have done whatever that person says, they give them a penny. The person with the most pennies at the end of the game wins. You can go around once and call it quits or go around twice. Examples of statements:
