Along with where and when the reunion will take place, those organizing the event need to a make a decision on the kinds of activities and games that they want included. In this article, we look at a number of different games for family reunion event that you may want to consider using for yours.
However, which games you choose to use at your family reunion will depend on where it is taking place. There are certain types of games, which should only be used if the event is taking place outdoors, whilst there are others, which are ideal for both indoors and out. So you need to think carefully before you make the final decision on what games you will be playing at yours.
Another important factor to take into consideration when choosing the kinds of games you want to play at your reunion are the ages of the participants. There are some games, which are best for young children to play, whilst there are some games, which are more suited to those who are much older. So it is important that you include a mix of such games into the event that you are organizing.
Now let us take a look at some of the kinds of games that you may want to consider as part of the activities at your own family reunion party.
1. Red Rover - This is one that means everyone gets involved. You divide everybody up into two groups. Then each group forms a line and joins hands and then faces towards the other one. Then the group that has been chosen to go first shouts out together "Red Rover, Red Rover, Send (the name of the person they have selected) Over". Then the person whose name has been called must run towards the other team's line and try to break through. If they make it through then the take, one of the other teams players to join their line. However if that person fails to break through then they must join that team.
2. Mummy Wrap - All you need for this is some toilet rolls and people who are willing to make fun of themselves. Get the family members to team up as pairs. If you can make sure that, they team up with a family member who is not actually part of their own family. Then between them, they have to decide who is going to be the mummy and who is going to be the wrapper. Then it is all down to who is the fastest person at wrapping their partner in toilet paper so that they end up resembling a mummy.
But as well as the two games mentioned above which are great to use a way of breaking the ice there are others that you may want to try as well. There are plenty of websites online, which can offer you a number of different games for family reunion events, which will get every one up, and enjoying themselves. As well as giving them a chance to meet those family members, they have never met before.
Family Reunion Tip #1
A great idea for making much more personal nametags for your family reunion is to ask each family member to send in a passport size photo of themselves with their reply. Then as each one arrives, stick this on to some card and then arrange to have each one laminated after their names have been included on them.

When it comes to choosing the right family reunion theme it should be the one that most people will enjoy participating in. So another way of ensuring that you have chosen the right theme is by getting those invited to vote on the one that they like the best.
