Surprise Party Game Ideas
Hop Dop
- All the players (any number of them) are divided into 2 teams and sit at the table, facing each other.
- One group is given a little coin. The leader of this team must give the coin to one of his partners. He must do it unnoticeably.
- At the "Hop" command of the opposite team the coin must be shown over the table. At the command "Dop" - it is again hid under the table, where the players continue to pass it from hand to hand.
- At the command "Hands on the table!" the players put their hands on the table, with the palms down.
- The leader of the opposite team must guess who has the coin between his/her fingers.
- If he/she guesses, the coin is passed to the opposite team and the game begins anew.
