5. Key to Success

This game can get a little messy, but is so much fun! For this game, you’ll need aluminum pie pans, whipped cream, and keys.

For sanitary reasons, make sure you have at least one aluminum pan for each player. The goal of the game is to see which team can find all of the keys in the whipped cream the fastest.

Step 1: Fill each aluminum pan with whipped cream and one key. To make it more challenging for the players, alternate where you place the key each time (ex. Key in the center then whipped cream on top, whipped cream then key then more whipped cream to cover it, and you can even move the placement of the key towards the left and right).

Step 2: Divide the group into two teams of an even number.

Step 3: Each player on each team will take their turn. Once they find the key, remove that pan and place a new pan. The process will repeat itself and the first team to find all of the keys the fastest wins the game.

6. Face the Cookie

This classic party game is always a crowd favorite. For this game, all you will need are some cookies and your face! Typically people use Oreos because of their size and the amount you get in one pack, but any type of cookie will work.

Step 1: Divide the group into to teams

Step 2: Each team will send one person up at a time to play

Step 3: Place one cookie on the forehead of each player

Step 4: Set the timer for 1 minute and the first player to get the cookie from their forehead into their mouth without touching with their hands, wins a point for their team. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins

7. Stack Attack

For this simple graduation party game idea, all you will need is cups! I prefer to use solo cups for this game because they tend to be a bit sturdier, but any type of disposal cup will work.

Grab about 36 cups and stack them in a tower-like fashion. You can start with 8 cups on the bottom row, then 7, then 6, and so on a so forth until you are left with 1 cup on top.

The object of the game is for each player on each team to unstack and restack the tower without knocking it over in under a minute. The player that unstacks and restacks the tower the fastest gets a point for their team.

8. Defy Gravity

The object of this game is to defy gravity with the use of balloons. Each player will have two balloons that they will have to keep from touching the ground for one minute. The player that is able to keep their balloons from touching the ground wins a point.

It would be super fun to do this game in levels where you increase the number of balloons after each round (ex. Round 1: 2 balloons, Round 2: 3 balloons, Round 3: 4 balloons, etc).

9. Guess the Age

Print two sets of (the same) pictures of the graduate from each age of their life. Divide the group into two separate teams.

Each team will try to arrange the pictures into the correct age order and identify what age they think the graduate is in the picture.

The team that comes the closet to the correct timeline wins the game!

10. Giant Pictionary

What’s better than Pictionary than giant Pictionary am I right? For this game, all you’ll need is a large whiteboard/flip chart easel. You can make up your own word bank that players can draw from, or use words from the original Pictionary game. It’s up to you!
