Funny 30th Birthday Games for Groups
Funny Birthday Business
Looking for acting birthday party games for adults? Here’s one for you. For Funny Birthday Business, you will need a hat, slips of paper and pencils.
Give each player two to three slips of paper and two minutes to write down one funny memory or piece of trivia about their birthday friend they’d like one of the other guests to perform. Some examples: “Pretend to dance like Sarah does in the club” or “How Sarah might move like if she were a lion”.
When the time is up, collect up the papers and shuffle them in your hat. The hat is now placed on a table, next to a bottle of wine and empty glass.
The player who starts the game must take a sip of wine, pull a slip from the hat, and perform what they get. Everyone else is left to guess.
As the host, you can also secretly slip in a few tasks everyone as a group must perform together, e.g., Pretend to be cats licking themselves, or dance on one leg while flapping your arms and nodding. This is a great game to film.
How’s Yours?
To play this game, pick one person to be the ‘It’ and ask them to leave the room. With everyone else remaining, decide together a common characteristic or trait, e.g., Hair, body parts, clothing, or a tree.
When the person returns, they must go straight up to someone and ask “How’s yours?” This person needs to give a one-word adjective answer to describe the trait; with Hair, for example, ’long,’ ‘tangly’ and ‘sweaty’ are adjectives they might use. Keep the game going until the person guesses the trait.
