Considerations
-
Be considerate of the guests at your party. Although printable party games can add to the fun of any party, don't overdo it. For adults, a couple of different games are enough to get people acquainted with each other. Let them take it from there. For children, more games are in order. However, make sure they are varied enough between sit-down games and active, physical games so they aren't sitting too long or getting over-exerted. Have extra games printed out, just in case the people at your party can't get enough of them.
Function
-
Adding creativity to your printable party games will make them function better as a total entertainment segment of the party.
1. Print different games on different festive colors of paper.
2. If the printable games are plain, add borders and clip art that matches the party theme.
3. Add prizes for the winners of the games. Match the prizes with the party theme.
4. Mix an old standby game in with the printable party games. After someone wins a game and she chooses a prize, the next one to win a game can choose a prize or take the first (or any other winner's) prize.
Warning
-
Printable party games are so much fun that your guests will want copies. Don't disappoint them. Make sure you have set aside not only copies that they can take home with them, but also a list of websites where they can find more. Purchase colorful school folders to hold the printable games. Add a printout of your own that says, "A gift for our guests. May the games continue on." Paste this to the top of the folder front. Then take candid photos during the party and sneak away to print them out. Attach a photo under each printed saying on the folder. Your guests will still be smiling when they leave.
