Charades seems to go down well with all ages.
A silly game we play is when we get out the After Eight mints. Each person has to tip their head back and put one on their forehead. They then have to get the After Eight from their forehead into their mouth, using their facial muscles only - no hands. It sounds a bit naff but it's a good laugh.

hi, every year my mom still puts a present to one side for everybody that will be there on the eve. she writes three clues that each lead to one another and hides them round the house. she gives each person there first clue and its up to them to solve the clues in order to find the present at the end of it.

Rizzla game's quite good fun, put person's name on a post it or rizzla then stick it to person next to you's head until everyone has a name on their forehead then ask yes or no questions, till you can guess who you are. If the answer is no, question goes onto the next person.

i played a game at an ann summers party ( and no its not a dirty game) you get a match stick for every one and a packet of polo mints, you put the match stick between your teeth and have to pass the polo, stand in a circle, and put the polo on the match and then with out using your hands pass the polo to the person beside you and keep going if you drop it your out, and the last one/two still standing wins a prize.
I played this with my mum who is 48 I'm 24 and the lady that held the party joined in too she was i think in her early 50's.
It was a good laugh plus im 5 ft 6 and my mum is about 5 ft and trying to pass the polo with the height difference was sooo funny.

bingo always goes down well, i think, even with the younger adults, especially if theres small prizes for a line or full house.

aftershave or bubble bath
pack of cards
christmassy socks
chocolates
cuddly toy, that sort of thing.

the band game!!! best game ever, wasted plenty of hours in class playing this. basically a person starts by saying the name of a singer, group, composer for example Metallica and then the next person has to say a group etc begining with 'a' the last letter of the previous one said. can go on for hours and a good game to play whilst preparing xmas dinner or at any time!! we have hours of fun trying to convince each other that bands we make up exist! good times and no paper or things required...

We like the chocolate game! You get a bar of Dairy milk? a pair of gloves a scarf and a hat a try and knife and fork you all sit on a circleputting the choccy clothes and cutlery on a table in the middle ,pass a tray round with a dice (die) on and if you throw a six you have to dress up in the centre and try to cut the chocolate wearing the hat gloves etc you keep munching until someone else throws a six then they get to steal the dressing up stuff sit on the chair and eat the choccy and so it goes on,Sounds daft but we play it every year at our family party and you would be suprised at what supposed adults will resort to just to get a six!!!!!! My 90 year old gran has been known to try and turn the die to a six so she gets a go!
