1. Ex Libris

This game begins by making someone to pick a book from the bookshelf. The person who pick the book will play the role of the umpire for that particular round. Then the "umpire" starts to read out the first line of the book to make an impression about the book. Everyone except the umpire should write down their best impression of the last line of the book. Then they should put their notes into a hat.

Meanwhile, the umpire also writes down the exact last line of the book and put that too in to the hat. Once everyone is done, the umpire starts to read the notes out for everybody. All the participants get a chance to vote for what they think is the real closing line. If you have voted for the exact last line, you get one point.

Anyone who voted for your suggestion also get one point each. The game continues until everyone plays the role of the umpire and the person with highest number of points, wins.

5. Telegrams

Someone picks a word and read it out loudly. Then everyone should write a telegram as an acronym of the announced word. For an example, if the word is "SANTA" the message should start with letter "S". The message should be written in the form of an urgent once and it should relate to the announced word too.

6. Douche

While everybody sits around a table and a chosen "doucher" will announce a narrow category. For an example the movies of Adam Sandler. Then the doucher locks a certain example in his mind (you can even write it down) and gets a water filled eggcup. He then holds it over each player while asking for an example for the category. If any player comes out with the "locked" answer, he is douched with the eggcup's contents. The victim becomes the next doucher and continues the game as a new round.

7. Gift hot potato

Gather few unwrapped gifts (the funnier the better). Make a circle out of the participants. Pass one gift around at a time while a music played. The person who holds the gift, at the time the music stops, gets out keeping the gifts he held.
