Check this site out for ideas for party games on New Year’s Eve! Victorian Games – Party Games Rules Parlor Game for Groups.
The Laughing Game
– – All players sit in a circle. One player starts the game by saying “Ha”. Then, going around the circle, the second player says “Ha Ha”, third player says”Ha Ha Ha”, and so on. All players must not laugh or smile, but must proceed with straight faces. Anyone who fails to do this is out of the game.
Cat and Mouse
– – Place two rows of chairs facing each other with just enough space between the rows for a person to pass through. Select one player to be the cat and one player to be the mouse. All other players sit in the chairs. Blindfold the cat and mouse and have one stand at each end of the pathway of chairs. Cat and mouse walk around the two rows of spectators and must stay within touching distance of them. The cat attempts to catch the mouse – he should stay blindfolded and hunt the mouse entirely by listening. When the mouse has been caught, two new players are chosen to be the cat and mouse.
The Minister’s Cat
– – All players sit in a circle. The first player describes the minister’s cat with any adjective that starts with the letter “A”. Example: “The minister’s cat is an adorable cat.” The next player must also use the letter “A” – such as “The minister’s cat is an angry cat.”, and so on all the way around the circle. When it comes back to the first player the letter “B’ is used – example: “The minister’s cat is a bashful cat.” Anyone who can’t come up with an adjective or repeats one that was already used is out of the game.
