So, you are on the Prom committee this year and you are brainstorming on how to make it the best prom everyone has ever seen? Well, we couldn’t help but overhear that you are looking for games for prom night to enthrall your guests with and we could help! Having planned a few proms ourselves, we would know a thing or two about planning one!
Let the prom games begin!
Never Have I Ever
The “Never Have I Ever” game is a party game usually associated with drinking. However, in the case of prom night, we replace drinking with dares.
Each one will sit in a circle and hold out their ten fingers. The first person starts the game as usual by saying “Never have I ever’ followed by something they did. Then the person to the right continues the game by saying the same.
If someone has done the same thing as the first person, they say nothing and fold one finger. This person must do a dare asked by the first person. If they refuse to do it, they fold another finger. The game ends when one person folds all their ten fingers. This becomes a fun alternative to the drinking game.
Scavenger Hunt
Prom scavenger hunt is one of the best games to play at prom. The game is about creating a list of things to find or do and the one who does the majority in the list is the winner. A copy of the list is given to each person so that they can go around scavenging.
You can also add a few prom themes and ideas into the scavenger hunt game to make it more interesting. Some of the popular scavenger hunt ideas for prom include beach scavenger hunt, alphabet scavenger hunt, photo scavenger hunt, Christmas scavenger hunt and Halloween scavenger hunt. You can also make it a group competition by dividing everyone into two groups and making it a team game to win.
Karaoke Night
Among the best prom game ideas, having a karaoke night is an excellent choice. You can be certain that it would be both exciting as well as entertaining to everyone.
Buy a karaoke machine or even rent one so that everyone can show their musical abilities or the lack thereof. Those who are performing on stage will draw a crowd and will keep your audience entertained for a longer time. The audience can rate the singers from 0 to 10 and eliminate one person in each round.
Musical Chairs
Musical Chairs is popular as one of the fun games to play at prom. You have to arrange a row of chairs back-to-back and play some music. The players will move around the row of chairs dancing while the music plays. They have to sit down quickly on the chairs when the music stops.
In the next round, remove one of the chairs and continue the music. The one who cannot find a chair is out of the game. The game continues in the same manner. You can increase or decrease the speed of the music to instill more thrill and excitement in the game.
Prom Paparazzi Race
Prom Paparazzi Race is one of the most exciting games to play during prom. In this game, you divide everyone into two lines of equal numbers. At the start of the line, a pile of different clothes are kept. Each person has to wear them all and then a photo is to be taken.
After the photo is done, they remove all the clothes and drop them down to give the opportunity to the next person. Whichever line is the first to finish wearing all the clothes becomes the winner. It will be fun and exciting to see people quickly putting on and removing the pile of clothes as they hurry to be the winner.
