60's Party Games for a Psychadelic 60's Party

Friday, March 23, 2007

When most people think of the 60’s, they envision hippies, flower children, psychedelic clothes and furniture, and the wonderful TV and movies from the era. If you’re hosting a 60’s party, games planned around the theme require little more than a little imagination. Here are a few groovy games to get your party started:

"HIPPY HEADBAND TOSS" 60'S PARTY GAME

This game requires a “headband”, and something tall and skinny to throw it onto (if you’re playing outside, a garden stake is perfect). Guests gather fairly close to the ‘stand’ to start with, and must toss the headband onto the stand. If they are successful, they take one step backwards; if they fail, they bow out of the 60's party game. In order to win this 60's party game, a player must be the one who can toss the headband onto the stand from the furthest distance.

"GUESS THE 60'S SHOW/MOVIE" 60'S PARTY GAME

Prior to the party, compile a selection of 60’s TV or movie clips onto a DVD (cable TV is a wonderful resource). Guests must form into pairs or small teams, and all guests watch the clips together. The object of the 60's party game is to correctly guess which 60’s TV show or movie is in each clip; the team with the most correct answers is the winner of the 60's party game.

60’s party games can be great fun if they are kept simple and tied in well with the theme. With a dash of creativity, you can make your 60’s party one that will be remembered long after the final lava lamp has been turned off.
