CRAZY BUT FUN! BANANA GAME (vaguely on the lines of twenty questions; can be adapted to teams, but is probably best just played for fun with no winners or losers.) One player is chosen to start and is the “banana lady”. She must think silently of a verb such as flying, sleeping, eating, breathing, swallowing, cleaning etc. The other players try to guess the verb by taking it in turns around the circle to ask questions, to which the banana lady can only answer “yes”, “no”, “maybe”, or “don‟t know”. The question must be asked using the word “banana” instead of the verb. E.G. “Have you bananad today?” “Do you need any special equipment when you banana?” “Does the Queen banana?” etc….
Whoever guesses what „banana‟ means then becomes the banana lady, using a new verb for the players to guess. Some people will play it straight, but after the first go or two, most groups end up in fits of giggles and the innuendo can be quite hilarious! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FAMOUS PEOPLE Similar to above, except each person thinks of a famous person, fictitious or real, and other players ask questions such as “Are you alive now?” “Are you male?” Again only answers allowed are “yes, no, maybe or don‟t know” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MIRROR, MIIROR ON THE WALL, WHO HAS THE FINEST NOSE OF ALL? In advance prepare paper cake cases arranged in patty tins with a number attached to each with a paper clip. Put a
small quantity of powdered kitchen or bathroom products in each, keeping a note of which is which. Guests are given paper and pens and use their noses to guess the identity of the products. It is better to have three or four different patty tins, plates or whatever, circulating or to have the items placed around the room and ask guests to circulate to each item.
