I have the perfect game to suggest for those of you out there wondering just how to break the ice at this year's holliday party. The game is called "Who I Am?". It will encourage interaction between your guests as a means of participation.
You will need to create labels that have the names of famous people. I have even seen one company print the person's picture beside the name for a little extra something. The names on the labels can be any well known famous people throughout the history of time, dead or alive.
When your guests arrive to the party, you will have them turn around so you can place a label with the name of a famous person on their back. You then instruct them to find out who they are in order to win a prize. They will do this by asking other people questions or clues. The trick is, they can only ask "yes" or "no" questions in order to find out what name is on their back or any other words, who they have just become.
So, as your guests and co workers are mingling, having drinks and enjoying some appetizers they are also asking one another questions. As they approach someone, you will see them turn their backs so that the person will be able to see who they now are, and then ask...am I on television? am I funny? am I dead? You are only allowed to ask the same person three questions.
At the same time, the other person will have a name on their back and be asking questions as well. You can have prizes for the winners. Usually the winners will come to the DJ Booth to collect their prize and the DJ will announce the winner and introduce them to everyone as the famous person, "Ladies and gentlemen let's have a nice round of applause for our next lucky winner and be sure to say hello to Ms. Oprah Winfrey"!
