1. Chuck E. Cheese
We admit now that you’re older full costumed mice and creatures can be a little creepy, but at 25 cents per game, you’ll be so amped up on air hockey and skeeball you won’t even notice. Make sure to order a full size pizza and to hand sanitize if you jump in the ball pit.
2. Coloring Books
Get your friends together, break out your Crayolas and scribble to your heart’s content. Just remember to stay in the lines.
3. Disneyland
You may think you’re too old for Disneyland, but now you’re finally tall enough (hopefully) to get on every ride. Take a spin in the teacups or sing along to the drunken pirate songs Pirates of the Caribbean. Who says you can’t go back to Never Neverland?
4. Drunken Twister
It’s not nice having your friend’s rear ass near your face, but it will be hilarious after a few drinks. Make this childhood game sexier by having everyone wear only swimsuits or undies.
5. Dodgeball
You may not be as skilled as Ben Stiller, but at least you can have a blast knocking out your friends by hurling balls at them. Create teams and compete for dodgeball glory… or control of the playground.
6. Playground
Go to a local playground and swing on the swings (if you can fit) or take a turn on the tire wheel. Slide into the dirty sandbox and do tricks on the monkey bars. Just be sure not to break anything!
7. Puppet Show
Grab your old socks and head to the local crafts store for all the puppet makings you might need. Create a script all your own (a spoof on your dorm mates perhaps?). Think “Avenue Q.” YouTube the final result to enjoy for months to come.
8. Lemonade Stand
Hey, with the way the economy is now why can’t you make a lemonade stand? It’s hot out and you need some extra cash. When life gives you lemons… you get rich.
9. Magic Show
Check out a local magic show or try some tricks of your own. Be the next Chris Angel or David Blaine and show off your slight of hand. Remember a good magician never reveals his secrets!
10. Circus
Check the tour of a Ringling Bros. or find a local circus coming in town. Watch the acrobats as they take your breath away with their death defying tricks or the clowns that are… still scary as hell.
11. Dessert Night
Remember when you diet consisted of candy and sweets? Well now you can relive the dream. Have each guest bring their favorite sweet treats and bypass dinner straight to the good stuff. There’s nothing like a sugar rush to make you feel like a kid again.
12. Tea Party
Gather your friends and have your very own Alice in Wonderland tea party. Get your friends to dress up as the Mad Hatter or the Queen of Hearts. No need for make believe drinks anymore—tea or other fun beverages should be served.
13. Pillow Fight
There’s no better way to get rid of unnecessary stress than beating the crap out of your nearest and dearest with harmless, cushy pillows. Put on some comfy PJ’s and watch the feathers fly!
14. Play-Doh Sesh
Grab your friends and crack out the Play-Doh. There’s nothing like squishing and smooshing that dough between your fingers, and this time you won’t be curious about eating it.
15. Kiddie Pool
Break out the floaties and your favorite rubber duckies. Add your own twist and fill it with milk, jello or even mud. You and your friends might be cramped in the kiddie pool, but at least you won’t drown.
16. Mummy Wrap
Divide your friends in teams of two and give each a roll of white paper. Using the whole roll, one member of each team has to race to wrap his partner entirely to the sound of music. Once wrapped, the first mummy that hops to the finish line wins!
17. Truth or Dare
This game is the childhood equivalent of alcohol. All you have to do is blame your actions on the game. Get people to spill their dirty secrets and do stuff they know they shouldn’t do without having to spend big bucks on beer… though with beer this game is off the hook.
18. Hide and Seek
5-4-3-2-1… Ready or not, here I come! Have your friends hide all over the house and try to find them. You’ll get a laugh at where they might choose to hide and how they got there.
19. Finger Paint
Get your hands dirty and make some masterpieces with your fingers. Pour some paints onto paper plates and grab some sheets of paper. After you finish with the paper, you can move to human canvases.
20. Bead Party
Make friendship bracelets with the actual people you’ll be best friends with forever with. Or give them away to random strangers and make new friends. If you’re a dude, just play along. Sorority girls love this stuff.
21. Pranks
Remember when you used to make prank calls asking people if their refrigerator was running and put whoopee cushions under seats? Just because you’re older, doesn’t mean pranks any less fun. Try the classic saran wrap on the toilet seat or toothpaste inside an oreo. Or do something bigger like a massive TP job. Whatever you do just make sure it’s legal!
22. Pin the tail on the donkey
This time, use a picture of a real ass…your ex, your boss or the celeb you want to kick in the face.
23. Story Time
Gather your friends and sit in a circle around a campfire or just on your living room floor. Take turns telling scary stories or romantic fairy tales. Get creative and add your friends into the stories as characters.
24. Musical Chairs
Pull up a chair for a round of musical chairs. Create a playlist with your friends and spend the night walking around the chairs until the music stops. Once the music stops, find a chair to sit to stay in the next round.
25. Limbo
Break out a broomstick or yardstick and play some music while your friends bend backwards to fit under the limbo stick. The person who goes the lowest to the ground without falling or touching the stick wins. How low can you go?
26. Tag
Tag, you’re it! Pick someone to be the tagger then have them close their eyes and count to ten as you and your friends hide. Once they are out and about the tagger must touch someone else who will then become the tagger. For a little twist have the tagger wear only underwear!
27. Ice Cube Game
Set up some bowls full of ice on the floor then have each guest sit in a chair. The guest must scoop all the ice out of the bowl using only their feet. To add a little twist, place a beer at the bottom of the bowl that the player must chug after all the ice is out. The person who scoops and chugs the fastest wins and gets a nice ice-cold beer.
28. Suck and Blow
No, not it’s not what your dirty little mind thinks. Take a pack of straws, a beer pong ball or card and divide your friends into two teams. You must pass the ball or card from the front of the team to the back using only straws. If you’re game, instead of using a straw, just use your mouth.
29. Water Balloon Fight
Separate your friends into teams and watch the water balloon war, or rather, wet T-shirt contest begin. With everyone wet, everyone wins.
30. Bobbing for Apples
Test your guests’ oral skills and bob for apples from a bucket full of water. The amount of apples they retrieve using only their teeth equals the amount of beer bottles or shots they can take (or make their friends take).
