Finding Nemo Party Games

These two finding Nemo party games are sure to get your little fish flitting about the party in a fun and happy time. Make sure you have enough room for this first game.

The first game I suggest for the party is simply called ‘find Nemo’. Nemo is hiding in the aquarium and the other fish are mimicking him to keep him from being discovered and taking away. The point of this game is to find out which of the players is initiating the movements that other players are copying.

Pick someone to look for Nemo and send that person out of the room. The rest of the players will pick someone to play Nemo and they’ll all copy whatever movement Nemo starts. So for example, Nemo will start scratching his/her nose and all the other players will start this as well. While they are scratching have the Nemo seeker come back into the room and try to figure out who Nemo is by watching the group closely as Nemo changes movements from scratching his/her nose to tapping his/her foot or making strange noises. Nemo must change his/her action at least once every twenty seconds if he/she can. When Nemo is found, start up another round of the game with different people.

This second game is called ‘Slogans’. Make up a bunch of slips of paper with the names of each of the characters from the movie Finding Nemo on them. You can list character two or three times to make enough slips for everyone. Then give the players a piece of paper and pencil and have each draw one slip from a hat. They must then write a fitting slogan for each character named.

Here’s the hard part. The players must begin each word of the slogan with a letter from the character’s name. For example: Nemo’s slogan from Finding Nemo could be ‘Nobody Encouraged Me, Oiy!’ Then you have all the players read their slogans out loud and vote on whose is the best.
