Default Games at a workshop????

Does anyone know of fun games that can be played at a workshop? I think this is such a great "ice breaker".

Thanks.

Don't know what kind of games you are looking for, but I was thinking along the lines of stamping. What about making up your own stamp (bingo) cards using stamping words instead of numbers such as rubber, pear ex, classic, craft, eyelet, etc... Then when you bingo call out stamp instead of bingo.

You could unscramble words using stamp related words.

Just a couple of things that popped into my head when I read your post. H

Have fun!

The bingo card could be used during the catalog tour too. Using words that are related to the catalog. Have them mark off the word when you say it and that way you know they are listening to your "tour".

The scrambled letter game would be a good one to play while waiting for all the guest to arrive, right?

Another game could be that as you have each guest introduce themselves, they must name a product/stamp set from the catalog that starts with the same letter as their first name or have them tell their favorite stamp set. That would maybe indicate who is new to stamping or who may be recruited (have so many and still want more).

I just had a workshop where we played the game "Stampin In Your Sleep".
They broke off into 2 person teams, 1 member was blindfolded while the other directed them on how to put their card together with words only, they were not allowed to help with their hands. I just used a simple layout and sorted through my scraps for the cardstock. I used the "Shapes and Shadows stamp set, since it was on sale! They had such a good time. Both members of the team had a chance to stamp. I was a great way the guest to get aquainted.

Do you have access the the demo forums? If you do, there are some great ideas in the Workshops forum.

This is so wrong! :lol: If I want to play silly games, I'll go to a Tupperware party! Introduce yourselves and name your favorite stamp, but please, no lame games! IMHO.

I think Stampin in your sleep sounds like a blast.
