Press Release Summary = When it comes to games, it\'s definitely true \'the more the merrier.\' The synergy that comes from the group as they enjoy the experience collectively creates memories and can bond the group like few other experiences can. However, facilitating larger group games can be challenging.

However, facilitating larger group games can be challenging.
Here are some helpful hints:
· Probably the single most important question to ask of any game for larger groups is \'How many people will ACTUALLY participate?\' Participation is the key and if you\'ve limited half of the group\'s activity to ONLY watching, you\'ve lost a lot of that synergy. Even simple games like Name That Tune can be converted to a large group game by leaving it open to the crowd, allowing anyone to quickly stand when they think they know the tune (this works great for TV show tunes, movie soundtracks and pop songs.) Other activities, such as our all new Movie Adventures (where groups of people watch a popular movie while solving clues simultaneously) work great because everyone watches, everyone contributes.everyone has fun! · For facilitation ease purposes, divide the larger group into two or more teams (depending on the number of people participating.) This can help introduce other games that you might not have been able to incorporate otherwise. Give each team a name (or allow them to choose their own.) When a group has a name, an incredible unity is instantly formed. Additionally, if possible, make sure that each group is physically united as well (they move their chairs or simply stand together in large clumps of people, etc.) · Do your best to choose games that are over very quickly, but can be repeated over and over. In this way, you\'ll provide plenty of opportunities to change the game should interest begin to waver. Remember, you want to leave them wanting more rather than wondering \'When is this game gonna end?\' · Finally, make sure that you have a great sound system - or someone that can speak loud enough for everyone to hear. This might seem obvious, but many a game got off to a lousy start because no one could hear the directions the first time, subsequently forcing the facilitator to repeat it several times. Practice how you will explain the rules (making them simple and talking with a lot of energy.) Make the most of every second before you lose them.
Dear Mr. Dean: We actually just completed our pirate party this past weekend; it was a children\'s party for our twin boys; we had close to 40 kids and it was a blast. I found your product incredibly thorough and extremely helpful for our needs. We especially got a lot of ideas from your decorating suggestions. Thank you for a well-thought out product and for offering it out there for people who have the general ideas, but could use a little guidance to bring it all together. Your downloads really are a \"treasure.\" Margo L.
