Game Ideas for Bachelor Auctions

Video Transcript

"Hi! You're back, GALA GAL Jenelle. I'm Janelle Taylor, a licensed auctioneer and certified as a benefit auctioneer specialist for the National Auctioneers Association. I'm here on behalf of Expert Village to talk more about bachelor auctions. Right now, I'm going to take a minute to talk to you about games that will work as ice breakers to help your audience connect with your bachelors. That personal connection is what drives the biding up, creates competition, and raises more money for you. I want to read to you the exact text that we've used in a bachelor auction program to explain to the audience how this trivia mingling time works. We will be hosting bachelor trivia between 6-7:30 pm. You can win drink coupons, gift certificates, prizes, and special opportunities by correctly answering questions about our bachelor guests. All answers for bachelor trivia can be found on display on their biographies located near the stage. Make sure to read these biographies and take notes on your favorites. Of course, if you're brave you could always just strike up a conversation or two. Please join us in having a great laugh and as we raise lots of money for our cause and maybe, just maybe we'll spark a love connection. It could be you. Once we gave them that direction in the catalog, after we had a time to have mingling we started what we call the bachelor trivia. Let me give you a few examples of the things that we collected from the bachelor questionnaires. Ladies, whose goal for next year is to get a bigger boat? How about which guy said he's more fun than a barrel of monkeys? Or finally, which gentlemen loves the line from the movie as good as it gets? All of these show personality in the bachelors and it's a great way for the women to be asking questions and finding out details about all the gentlemen who will be up that night. Remember that your audience should win some perks or small gifts, maybe a free drink coupon, or maybe a special visit from the bachelor of their choice. You can get really creative with what the winning trivia person receives and you'll find that it adds a lot of energy and a lot of communication to your mingling time. So have some fun with bachelor trivia and similar precaution games."
