50's Party Games to Honor a Bygone Era

The 50’s were a time of Rock n’ Roll, Hula Hoops, poodle skirts, James Dean and everything in between. There are few better ways to pay homage to the era than with a party dedicated to the 50’s. Party games are essential, and here are a few ideas to start with:

"HULA HOOP CONTEST" 50'S PARTY GAME

The Hula Hoop is an icon of the 1950’s. Party games like this will bring back fond memories for those who grew up in the era. Prior to the party, purchase a couple of hula hoops. One player has to act as the time-keeper. Competing 2 or 3 at a time, players must try and keep their hula hoop spinning around their waist for as long as possible. Once all players have had a turn, the player who kept their hoop spinning the longest is the winner of this 50's party game.

"ROCK N' ROLL PAIR-OFF" 50'S PARTY GAME

This 50's party game will fill up the dance-floor, and allows people who don’t know each other to become acquainted. Turn up the music, and have one pair go out onto the dance-floor. Shortly afterwards, this pair breaks off and asks 2 more partners to join them on the dance-floor. The partnering-off continues (with the pairs breaking up and each asking a different person to dance) until the dance-floor is full, and the majority of the guests are up and dancing.

There are a few necessary ingredients for any good 1950’s party. Games and rock n’ roll music are high up on the list; get the mix right and your party will be a night to remember.
