As for the game board, I was just thinking of using a piece of oaktag, and
when there are 7 answers on the board, for instance, put up 7 pieces of
fun-tack gooey stuff, and when the answer is given, put up the answer on an
index card. I was thinking do 5 rounds (5 people in each "family" if you have
a bigger crowd, maybe pair them up). Each round, one person comes up from
each family, shakes hands!, and the first to ring the bell (or whatever) and
answer correctly, their family gets to go. they get 3 outs, and the other
family can huddle and answer. If they answer correctly, they get all the
points for the round. Winning team picks out 2 people for the fast-pace
final round, where they have to answer 5 questions in 25/30 seconds, where
second person can't duplicate first person's answer. If they get 200 points,
they are grand winners. If not, they are still winners, because everyone has
a good time and orders quality product!!
Of course, if you have the Family Feud board game already, you could
probably make that work, if it's not too small.
I was planning on using this for a great repeat group I have who "absolutely
know Everything about PL", but I think you could use this with a new group if
you do your booking/sponsoring/candle care spiel first. Use the game as a
'test' to make sure they were listening!
Would love to hear feedback on this from anyone who uses it.
