Game Tips
How do you pick out which games to play at your graduation party? Does a graduation party have to have games?
The best way to decide whether to have games or not is to look at where the party is, how many people are coming, and when they will be attending.
If it’s just a pop in and our open house, then you probably don’t need games. If it’s an outdoor party, then you might want some yard games.
And if it’s an indoor party with a set start and end time, these graduation party games can provide something fun for your guests to do.
So, scroll through this list of games and pick out the ones that will work the best with your party location and size.
