"Guess What I Am" - Using basketball terms and objects, write them on small
pieces of paper. As guest arrive, tape a paper to their back. They
cannot see what was written. Each guest must guess what basketball
term or object they are. They do this by going around the party room
asking questions that can be answered only with a yes or no. If
they guess what they are, give them a fun party favor. |
