The holidays are around the corner, and that means it’s time to get festive. An old tradition from the Christmastime is drinking games. These Yandex Games are a great way to spend your time with friends, family, or even all by yourself during your next game night, with drinks in hand. If you’re thinking of hosting a game night but don’t know what to play yet, here are five drinking games that’ll have you laughing and having a good time.
Beer Pong
One of the most popular drinking games, beer pong is a great game to play with friends or even with some family. In this game, you will be using ping pong balls and beer cups as your playing pieces. The first player will throw one or two ping pong balls into each of their opponent’s cups and then their opponent will do the same to them. The first player who gets three cups in a row without missing gets to shoot first. This game is simple enough that it can be played by friends or even kids, but it’s still fun for adults.
Truth or Dare
Truth or dare is a classic drinking game. The premise for the game is that one player, the “truth seeker,” asks a question related to truth, and the others players, “dare seekers,” have to answer with their best shot. This can be anything from asking someone to drink something to touching someone else’s butt.
Truth or dare is an excellent drinking game because it gets people talking and interacting with each other. Truth or dare encourages people to loosen up and have some fun while they’re playing. It also makes the game more personal because players get to ask question about the person they are playing with rather than just playing with random people.
If you’re hosting a party but you don’t know what game to play yet, I recommend truth or dare!
Name That Tune
This game is a classic. It can be played with any song, but it’s best to mix it up with some tunes you know so you’re not playing the same song over and over again. One person starts out by singing the first line of the song. The next person guesses the name of the singer or band in question. That guesser then supplies the next word in the chorus or verse of that original song. For example, if I start singing, “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore” and someone guesses “Earth,” I will say “Mars.” If they guess “Venus,” I will say “Venus.” Keep going until someone can’t think of a word and ends up getting a shot!
Flip Cup
Flip Cup is a game that is played with either a red solo cup or two cups of the same size. The rules are fairly easy: one player starts by saying “flip” and then turns over their cup when they say “cup,” then the next person has to do the same thing. If you’re playing with two cups, one person flips while the other holds on to their cup so they can take it if they win. The last person who flips their cup loses and must drink. This is a simple game with a fair amount of strategy, making it perfect for parties or game nights at your house.
Chicken Pinata.
This game is perfect for a fun game night with family or friends. It’s easy to set up, and if you’re feeling extra generous, you can fill the pinata with candy, snacks, or even cash!
To play, grab a few boxes of crackers. Take one box of crackers and divide it into two stacks. Place one stack in each hand and hold them out in a clap position. Now take a long string of yarn or ribbon and place it around the middle of your hands. Next, tape the ends together on one side so that they form a loop. Gather all the crackers into the loop and make sure that there are still plenty of open spaces inside. Fill those spaces with candy, snacks, or cash (whatever you’ve got!) then tie off your pinata sandwich with some more ribbon to make it secure! To start playing the game, pass one stack to another player while they take one hand off of their stack. That player now needs to figure out how many crackers are in their stack without opening their hands and without letting anyone else see through their closed fist! They have to use clues from what sounds they hear and touch along with what they know about math! The first person who guesses correctly gets all the goodies inside!
