Hello!

We're having a family get-together this New Year's Eve, and I'm looking for game suggestions. Charades is already on the list, but board games and card games might not work too well since we have a pretty big family. Any ideas?

Looking forward to your suggestions.
And Happy New Year in advance!

Bingo you can have forfeits for certain numbers.

Memory game where you put items on a tray, take the tray away and remove an item, write down what's missing. Next round add an item, next round remove one etc.

Twister if you can get hold of the game.

One of our Christmas night games was very loosely based on pass the parcel. The person on the left of you starts throwing two die, you begin unwrapping the parcel until that person manages to throw one then 2 sixes. Then passes it on etc. The twist is that the person doing the unwrapping has to be wearing oven gloves!! A lot more fun than it sounds and managed to engage a large family of mixed age groups.

We did a game like this with Christmas bows. It was a blast!

The game where you stick a piece of paper on one person's forehead with a name on it.. ie Rick Stein.. and that person is allowed one question per person to try to guess who they are..

In case no one mentioned them, Game Against Humanity, is a great game and there are children's versions and Disney versions. Great for family and friend gatherings!
