As you get your graduation invites ready, plan a few fun graduation party games to keep guests entertained.  With such a special day ahead, a celebration full of graduation party games honoring the graduate is just one way to show the graduate how special they are.  These graduation party games are easy and fun for all ages.

Memory Game

Choose 10 to 15 or more pictures of the graduate and print 2 copies of each picture.  Choose pictures from a variety of things that highlight the various stages of the graduate’s journey to this point. Cut them all to be the same size.  You can mount them to colored construction paper (choose school colors) to make them more sturdy.  Lay them out on a table face down.  2 or 3 players can attempt to find all the matches see who has the best memory!

How Old Am I?

Make a giant poster board with pictures of the graduate from a variety of grades and ages.  Assign each picture a letter (A, B, C etc. ) and create game sheets for each guest to write which lettered pictures corresponds to which grade or age.  You can make it tricky and use multiple pictures of the same age.  Don’t forget to make yourself a key!  A game sheet might look something like this:

Picture A ___________

Picture B ___________

Picture C ___________

Picture D ___________

Picture E ___________

Picture F ___________

Picture G ___________

Picture H ___________

Picture I ___________

Candy Bar Wishes

Divide party guests into two teams.  Give each team a bag of candy containing identical candy bars.  Each team is to write a letter of advice or congratulations to the graduate.  They must incorporate the names of the candy bars into their letters.  Choose oddly named candy or candy that will get some laughs.  A few candy ideas: Payday, Take 5, Nerds, Sour Patch Kids, Airheads, Three Musketeers, Milky Way, and Jawbreakers are good ones to use.  Give the teams a time limit.  Have the graduate pick the winner!

Congratulations to all the graduates this year!  Enjoy your graduation party!
