Star Wars is a household name and one of the greatest movie franchises of all time. It stands to reason that for birthdays or holidays, many people choose to have Star Wars-themed parties. If you host one, you can dress up in costumes, and eat Star Wars-based food and drink. To make the party special, it helps to include some entertainment. Below are three Star Wars-based games guaranteed to make your party go with a bang.
Star Wars Bingo
The rules of bingo are that everyone gets a card with numbers printed on it. These correspond to a set of numbers in a draw, usually printed on tokens or a set of balls. As the numbers are drawn, the players cross them off their cards if they have them. When a person crosses off a line or manages to eliminate all their numbers, they win that round.
Bingo is a hugely popular game, mainly because it is easy and fun to play. There are also hundreds of ways to do it. You can buy a small bingo set and play with your family, or you might sign up for one of the online bingo UK providers and take part in games virtually. This is done through a mobile device, and there are hundreds of different bingo games you can choose from. Lastly, you can even join a bingo hall and play with others.
When it comes to your Star Wars bingo party, you can find lots of downloadable versions online. In this version, you hand out the cards which have Star Wars-related pictures and quotes on them. The tokens can then be cut from the sheet, and either folded or stuck onto plastic balls. One person takes out a token at random and calls it out, and the others can cross them from the sheet.
Build a Droid
This is a great idea if you want people working together. Make sure you collect plenty of recycling in advance, and get some craft materials such as scissors and tape. Divide the items up depending on how many teams you want to take part in.
The goal is for your teams to build a droid. They will have a set time limit and must work together. You may even give them a more focused goal for winning, such as the droid having to glide a certain distance or perform another function, such as holding the most weight.
Light Saber Piñata
This one is based on a classic piñata game. You build a Star Wars villain from paper materials and decorate it, making sure it contains an easy-to-break box. You then fill the box with sweets and treats. Buy some budget lightsabers and get a blindfold. A sleeping mask is a great idea.
The villain is hung from a tree with plenty of space around it. The blindfolded player, guided by the others, has to then find it and whack it with the saber. If they don’t get any sweets, it is time for someone else to take over until the villain is fully destroyed, and the treats are freed.
All these games take very little set-up but will be extremely fun. Do a little preparation and have one or two in reserve. They will be welcome additions and your party is sure to be a hit.
