Games!!

Have three packages wrapped up. Try to have one that is sorta big and odd shape for crowd breaker. Then have everyone write their names down on three separate pieces of paper. They then fold them and put them in a basket. I draw from the basket a name. that person has a choice to chose a present from the floor. Then the next name I chose can chose a present or one that the other person pick BUT she has to remember her name. If she forgets the name or that person doesn't have a gift she loses her turn. People are ALLOWED to hide their presents to throw people off. I continue to draw names until the last one is drawn. the people left with the presents get to keep them. This is a hoot and it helps me to remember names too.

After all guests arrive, get started RIGHT AWAY with a drawing. (or you can just hand out coupons as winners are announced) 1)Let the first guest arrived be your first winner. Being on time pays.
2)Ask hostess to pick a number between 1 & 10, but don't tell. The guest who guesses the closest wins
3) Anyone who already knows one thing they are going to buy today (have them tell you what they want)
4)Anyone who works with the hostess
5)Anyone who lives on the same street as the hostess
6)Anyone who's birthday is in the month you are currently in
7)Anyone who can tell you something good about the company you work for.
8)Anyone who owns a product by your company. (have them tell you what & why they love it)
9)The guest who brought the most guests.
10) Anyone who knows the hostesses middle name.
11) Anyone with a picture on their key chain
(you get the idea….let everyone win something, make it fun)

Ticket Game

Buy a roll of raffle tickets. Tear them apart and when you get to your demonstrations/workshop (whatever yours is called :) tell the hostess and guests that you will give them one ticket for every ? they ask about what you do as a Demonstrator/? and 2 for every ? they ask about your company. At the end of an allotted time or how every many min's you want to do this. Start calling off numbers from the tickets. I made up a bag and put some confetti, ribbons, cardstock (I demo for a rubber stamp Co.).

I gave away 10 little items and they had alot of fun asking to get tickets. My 9 yr. old neice had some great ?'s.

I wrote the ticket numbers down before hand :) If anyone is interested in getting some tickets from me (just postage required to get them) I have ALOT and am willing to share :)

Set aside 9 products and place them in a Tic-Tac-Toe arrangement.

Already have a sealed envelope with the "secret square" named on an index card or slip of paper. When someone wins - open the envelope to show them that you did actually pick that item.

As on television - you could also write down the prize that they won and present it to them then.

Version 1 - when anyone orders the "secret square" product - they get a small prize.

Version 2 - go around the room and have the guests and hostess talk about the various products that they use and how they use them. The one that first talks about the "secret square" gets a prize.
