As each guest arrives, hand him or her a clothespin. Tell them to attach it to themselves in an obvious spot, and each time they "catch" another guest crossing, uncrossing their legs, or a special word chosen for your event, they can "steal" that guest’s clothespin(s). This definitely keeps the party from getting too "formal". Whoever has collected the most clothespins at the end of your presentation gets a gift! This can be a simple keychain, candle (LunaWolfs Mystical Essence has a wonderful assortment of soy candles), giveaway bag (A mompack is a wonderful gift), or even a Gift Certificate.

Purse ABC's
Bring a bag of candy with you to the party (Hershey Kisses, etc.).
Tell guests not to eat the candy during the game. Call a letter of the alphabet, and the first person to SHOW an item from their purse representing that letter wins a candy.
Each person who wins, gets a piece of candy; the person with the most candy at the end of the game is the winner.
Only use about 8-10 letters or so, then stop the game and do your party demonstration.
You can play the second half of the game (the remaining letters) at the end of the demonstration, but this time the guests must ask you questions about your career and company to earn a piece of candy. Imagination counts. It could be a description of an item, the brand name, color, etc.
You'll notice that the same things can be called different names, but they all work for this game. It's a lot of fun to see what people think of when you call a letter. Sure to bring you lots of laughs

Pass the Gift
Games are a must at a party and what better way than to start off with a gift!
Use an inexpensive gift, such what ever your business can offer to the guest, (under $5 or $10)
Start by giving the gift to the hostess or person in the middle of the group and the game begins!
1. Take this gift and with out a sigh look around and give it to a person with brown eyes.
2.Yes, you are the lucky one for the moment, but let us all share in the fun! Please look around with eyes discreet and give it to the one with the smallest feet.
3. Your feet are tiny and oh so small, now hand it to someone very tall.
4. Please take your time and don't be harried. Give it to the one who is longest married.
5. You must be proud of your life, now please pass this to the newest wife.
6. Of this parcel you are bereft, give it to the one on your left.
7. The largest earrings I'm looking for now, if you are wearing them, step up and bow.
8. Now to the person with buttons... big or small, any kind, the most you can find, gets the gift this time.
9. Now don't get cross and please don't fight, but pass it to the person 3rd on your right.
10. We should stop now, don't you agree?This gift is yours to keep with glee!!!!
This is a great ice-breaker and really sets the tone for a party.
Have fun!

Recruiting Game
The Recruiting Game
This game is designed to help you identify hot prospects. My belief is that any game you play should not only be an ice-breaker, but also designed to point you to potential recruits.
The first step is to assemble three Opportunity Gift Bags. To assemble the gift bags gather all the information you have on your opportunity, then add some special touches, including a gift. The gift can be anything that has visual appeal – a bar of chocolate, a fun gift you found at a dollar store or sale, or one of your own products purchased on special (do not over-spend on these bags. Presentation is the key.) Make sure you use fun gift bags so they have strong visual appeal and display them up front with you. This has two benefits. First, they will remind you that you have to find three people to give the gift bags to, and second, they will generate curiosity and a desire to ‘win’ one.
Next, introduce the game at the beginning of your party. Show the gift bags and tell guests that you are going to play a game. The winner will receive one of the gift bags.
Guests are invited to award themselves points as you call out the following categories:
* One point for each party you have been to in the last two years
* Two points for each party you have been to in the last six months
* Five points if you have ever hosted a party
* Double those points if you hosted a party in the last six months
* Five points if anyone has ever approached you about joining the business
* Ten points if you seriously considered it
* Ten points if you have ever been a Consultant or Representatives for a direct selling company
As you read out statements, guests award themselves points for party attendance, hosting a party etc. This exposes the best prospects to give your business opportunity gift bag to, because those who attend parties and host parties are by far your best prospects. They have basically qualified themselves.
You can make up the points as you go, depending on the group (you want to find a winner so you have to adapt to your audience). But here is a guide:
The guest with the most points wins. Be sure you have that guest’s information so you can follow up in a few days.

Pass or Play
This is a great way to get those parties. You have them thinking throughout the presentation so bring them to their decision now.
"Ladies, check out these beautiful coin purses/goodie bags/mini totes I have. What I need you to do is pass this box/bag around and quickly choose a coin purse. Hold onto it but DO NOT open it yet."
"Ladies, the last thing we are going to do is play a real quick game called Pass or Play. I am simply going to ask each of you if you want to play or pass. If you would like to pass, simply put your coin purse/goodie bag/mini tote back in my box/bag and you are all done. If you would like to play, then you get to open the coin purse/goodie bag/mini tote and see what is inside for you. I'll make this real simple for you…I'll tell you what is inside…It says you have won a Featured Product! I'll even tell you what you will win. If you decide to play, you may win our top selling {Featured Product #1} (hold piece up), our adorable {Featured Product #2} or the customer favorite {Featured Product #3}! Now it really doesn't matter which one you win because when I come to your house to do your own personal show…you are going to get all this free and ½ price product (that you outlined in the hostess plan)."
Pause…"Now did everyone get that? If you decide to play then I get to come to your house and show your friends and family the products I've shown here tonight."
"When I met {Hostess} at {Previous Hostess} show, she decided to play and that's why we are here today/tonight. When she opened her coin purse/goodie bag/mini tote, she won the beautiful {Featured Product #1}". This can be yours next time.
Next, go around the room asking each guest if they would like to play. Ask and respond with a smile, "Thank You {their name}" whether they play or not. Always use their names. Start with someone that you already know is going to have a show or is really excited about the product. Never respond when they come up with an objection like I don't know many people, or my house is too small. Let the other guests talk her into it, not you! You simply keep smiling and wait for her decision. This shows that you are not going to pressure them.

Door Prize Drawing
Before a party ends, you want to have everyone's information before they leave. A great way to do so is with Door Prize Slips. After you have collected everyones slip, put them in a box or even a tote bag. Pass this around and make it fun. Start passing this around when guests begin to arrive. As someone says the selected word for the day (purse, handbag, etc), someone passes them the box.
End your show with "Now who has my prize box?" (you started passing this around as guests arrive) This is a box that I have asked the ladies to pass around whenever they hear the word Purse or Handbag. Or you can say, "Okay, now time for a drawing! Has everyone filled out their guest survey sheets?" This gets you past that rare but awkward moment when nobody plays the pass or play game. Draw a name and give a prize!

Floor Game
Give each guest three pieces of paper and ask them to put their name on each piece. Collect all papers and put them in a bag or bowl. On the floor, place three or four small prizes. These can be wrapped, placed in gift bags, or wide open. Use products from your business inventory to get guests excited about winning a product. Start calling names from the bowl. When each name is called the guests have to pick something from the floor. When the items are gone off the floor, they have to take from each other when their name is called. When all the names have been called three times, the guests left holding a prize wins.
