Ice Cream Party Games
Whet up the appetite for ice-cream by having your
guests play these creative games before serving ice-cream.
Pass the Cone
A great game for an indoor or outdoor party. Make a large cone
using card stock and fill it with wrapped candies and pebbles. Make
your guests sit in a circle and start the music. As the music
plays, the cone is passed from one guest to another. When the music
stops, the person holding the cone picks one wrapped object. If it
turns out to be a candy, the person moves out of the circle and
sits in the area of 'Winners'. If it turns out to be a pebble, the
person sits in the area of 'Losers'. Game resumes and continues in
the same way till all guests are split into Winners and Losers.
The 'Losers' pay a penalty by serving ice cream first to the
'Winners' and then to themselves.
Know Thy Ice Cream
Serve different flavors of ice-cream in ice-cream cups and let
the guests guess which ice-cream flavor it is by smelling it. All
participants are blindfolded when they sniff so that they don't see
the color of the ice-cream.
Sort the Toppings
Mix a variety of dry toppings together in a bowl. For e.g. dried
berries, pistachios, crushed candy, crushed cookies, sprinkles etc.
Place smaller bowls labeled with the name of each topping around
the large bowl. Each participant gets one minute to sort the
toppings and put the separated topping ingredients in its proper
bowl. Each topping is allotted marks depending upon how hard it is
to pick it from the mixture. For example, on sorting one dried
berry the participant gets only 4 points but one small sprinkle
gets them 20 points. Total up the points for each and declare
winners based on highest scores.
