Pizza parties are fun for adults as well as kids, and pizza is the perfect solution when searching for simple party food that almost everyone will enjoy. At any party, games are a must, and a pizza party is no exception. Adults and kids love party games, and pizza party games are especially fun and entertaining. Consider the following activity and game ideas that focus around a pizza party theme. Kids and adults will enjoy getting in on the activities and games, and the pizza party is sure to be a big hit, no matter the occasion.
Begin with a Random Door Prize
A celebration with games and prizes is exciting and fun for all, and no one should go away empty-handed. Start the party with an activity involving a random door prize. Draw and color a slice of pepperoni or a mushroom on paper or cardstock, and tape it beneath a single chair. When the door prize is announced, whoever is sitting in the winning chair receives a prize.
Word Scramble Activity
A word scramble puzzle is a fun and challenging activity for kids and adults. Come up with a sentence related to the occasion or a particular variety of pizza. Have kids and adults at the party try to make as many new words as possible using the letters in the phrase, and allow them approximately five minutes before ending the activity. Whoever forms the greatest number of correctly spelled words wins the game. Do not be surprised if one of the kids at the party wins this game. Kids are often just as good as adults at coming up with correctly spelled words, and this definitely is a fun pizza party activity for all.
Dough Toss Game
If guests do not mind getting involved in a messy pizza party activity, consider having a pizza party dough toss outdoors. Make two or three batches of pizza dough using an inexpensive mix, and add extra flour to make the dough a little less sticky. Have two or three rows of guests on opposite sides begin tossing balls of pizza dough back and forth. With each toss, have each person take a giant step back. Whenever a player drops a ball of dough, someone else must take their place. The last player that has not dropped a ball of dough wins a prize in this fun and somewhat messy outdoor pizza party game.
Olive Toss Game
Green or black olives are good for more than just eating. They are great for tossing, and they can be used for a fun and exciting pizza party activity. Weather permitting, have kids and adults gather outside for this fun pizza party activity, and provide two teams with equal amounts of drained olives. Those who prefer not to waste olives can substitute them with small rubber balls. Have partners work together to toss the olives or rubber balls with a spoon and attempt to catch them in an olive-size can or container. Cotton or pillow batting can be placed inside the containers to keep rubber balls from bouncing out. The team that catches the most olives within two or three minutes wins the game.
These are just a few game and activity ideas for a fun celebration. Use a little imagination and creativity to come up with additional pizza party game and activity ideas. Adults and kids alike will want to get in on the fun, and along with tasty pizza, thirst-quenching beverages, and sweet treats for dessert, a pizza party in honor of any occasion will be a great success when fun game and activity ideas become a part of the festivities.
