Dumb charade is a game most of us are familiar with. It requires no materials and not much of space. Divide your guests in two groups, which will be competing against each other. Pick a person from one of the teams and tell him a movie name, which he will have to tell his team members by acting it out.

Each team member will take turns to act out a movie name given by the opposing team member. No sounds can be made and one cannot point towards objects to indicate words. The games gets fun with foreign movie names! It is definitely a game that tests your acting skills.

Make all your friends sit in a circle and place a bottle in the center. Keep spinning the bottle till it stops, till it points its cap to a person (person asking the question) and its bottom (person answering it) to another.

So you think your friend has a crush on a guy in your class? What better way to find out than a fish pond. As your classmates and friends walk in through the door, hand out a piece of paper to them and a pen. Ask them to write a thought pertaining to another guest on the paper.

It could be a love confession, an apology, an honest criticism or a sweet appreciation. Collect all of these in a bowl, which will be called the fish pond. Do make sure that they dedicate these to one of the person's present in the room.

Shuffle these, and in the middle of party read out them out, one by one. This game will leave each guest baffled at the end of the party!

Make all your friends sit in a circle and hand out equal number of pennies to all. Let one person begin with tell the rest what he/she hasn't ever done. For instance, 'I have never copied in an exam', if someone else has done this, then hand out a penny to the speaker. As the game picks up, watch out for some of the hideous confessions your friends have to make!

These games build a sense of humor and help children in a vulnerable age to take fun at the face value. This lesson in disguise will go a long way shaping their adult lives.
