Betty Boop Party Games

Saturday, June 16, 2007

The Betty Boop party needs a couple of games that work for both the younger audience and the adult party.

For the first game we suggest for a Betty Boop party is a fun and easy, well maybe not so easy attempt at making a Pyramid. You’ll need at least six players. This game gets goofier with older players and the more players at the party. You can only usually get about maximum a twenty one person pyramid going before those on the bottom start getting really squished.

Remember when organizing the pyramid you should put the largest people on the bottom to act as the support. As the pyramid gets higher you’ll put smaller and smaller people on until the lightest person is placed on the top. You can call the lightest person, Betty Boop, to fit the party theme.

To make the pyramid a little easier to handle have everyone lie down instead of getting on their hands and knees. So for a pyramid of six people the bottom row of three people would lie on the grass, then the second row of two people would lie on top the three person base and the lightest top person would lie on top of the second row. Make sure you have enough room for a pyramid at the Betty Boop party to limit chances of accident.

The next game for the Betty Boop Party is a fun word game called, ‘Initial Answers’. You can assign personas to each of the guests if you like that correspond with some of the old time cartoon characters that starred with Betty Boop or just let guests use their own name. You start by asking the guests one at a time a simple question like, “What is your favorite food?” The guest has to answer with two words that begin with their intials. So Bob Deel might answer, ‘Boysenberry Donuts.’

If a player messes up or takes longer than five seconds to answer they become the question asker for the next round.
