Musical chairs can be exciting. If it is a sit down chair event, tape numbers under every chair before your guests arrive. Write the same numbers on torn sheets of paper and put them in a bowl. Select someone to pick a number out of the bowl and whoever is sitting in that chair gets a prize. You can also ask a guest to select a number between certain numbers and again award a prize.
Prizes don t have to be expensive.
Local dollar stores are good for finding prizes for a low cost. When giving out prizes try to stay in your theme. If you are having a baby shower, give out baby bottles filled with candy. For the just because you want to watch movies with someone else party, pass out boxes of popcorn. Easter, you can give out coloring egg sets.
