Need a quick family game with no prep that anyone can play? Want to keep it to a budget? We got you.
We’ve got a few “favors” games here on BCP. We even did a 2.0 version of the favors game. This year the game is a bit more of a game and a lot of fun!
Every single family member gets 3 balloons and 3 post-it notes or cut strips of paper.
On one note, you write your name. The other 2 remain blank.
Each paper goes in a balloon (one in each). Blow it up and tie it closed.
You will now have 3 balloons per person, some with names, but most of them empty. For example, if you are playing it with 10 people you will now have 30 balloons.
The first player gets up and announces a favor/gift he/she will give. For example, I will babysit for you for one hour, I will buy you an ice coffee, or I will give you written dinner menu ideas for the week.
That first player takes a balloon and pops it. If it has a name written on the paper, then great! That person will get the prize/ favor.
If it’s blank. The first player now has to up his/her prize.
I will babysit for 1.5 hours.
Or – I’m going to buy you ice coffee AND a muffin.
I will give you written dinner ideas for 2 weeks!
When you get a name you sit down and the next player goes.
If the second balloon popped is blank, you keep upping the value of the prize until the player pops a balloon with a name.
You can set rules – all the favors/ gifts have to be free (your time) or stick to a budget (under $5…)
