Secret Phrase Exchange
This game will not only be a winner but it will actually have the conversation flowing amongst your guests as a part of the natural game process. Before your guests arrive at the party, write down some funny phrases on different strips of papers and put these papers under the individual dinner plates across the tables. Once your guests have taken their assigned seats and before the dinner is served, ask them to look at their individual papers and memorize the secret phrases and then re-collect all of the paper strips from each guest. Now all night long these have to use their secret phrases within their conversations when they speak to each other. Anytime they are able to use the secret phrases undetected, they have to count that as a point and at the end of the dinner, guests compare what the secret phrase for each guest was and how many points were collected by each. Make sure to set aside fun gifts or mementos for the winners.
