Mardi Gras Party Games
to Create a Carnival like Festival

by Gail Leino



Signifying the last day of Carnival, Mardi Gras is a great opportunity to celebrate. Why not mark the occasion with a party? Games such as those below are a good place to start.

�Pass the Key� Mardi Gras Party Game

This game is lots of fun and is sure to get everyone tied up in knots! For this game you�ll need two large keys of the same size, two pieces of string at least 50 feet long, and a large, even group of players (at least 18). Prior to the game tie each key to a piece of string. The two teams line up side by side, and the key must be passed from the front player to the back � that is, by passing the key down all players� shirts, trousers, dresses pants and the like. The first team to thread all their team-members together is the winner of this fun Mardi Gras party game.

�Musical Caps� Mardi Gras Party Game

This fun Mardi Gras party game is a variation on the old favourite �Musical Chairs�. Prior to the party, make or purchase roughly enough paper party hats for all guests. Party guests form a circle, and all the children except one receive a party hat. Music is started, and the party hats must get passed from head to head. When the music is stopped, the player not wearing a party hat leaves the circle and one hat is discarded. The game continues until there is one player � the winner � left.
