Planning a gathering for you and your most bookish friends? The literary theme will entertain the most well-read of friends at your next kitty party. Party Stuff has taken initiative to help you out in planning game ideas for your Literary theme kitty party. Scroll down to see some of the game ideas and for more details you can visit https://partystuff.in/games/theme/literary.
1. Consequenes - All choose a line from a novel that marks the beginning of a dramatic scene. Write the next sentence, and pass it on. And so on. When your creative depths have been plumbed and no more tales can be spun, read them out. Stories will be enhanced by using names of other fictional characters as you go.
2. Whose Line Is It Anyway - Take it in turns to read quotes by or about various characters – they could be from classic novels you all know or from your latest book group read. Others must guess who said what and when, and about whom, where relevant.
3. Call My Bluff - Similar to the paperback game, you take it in turns to pick a word from the dictionary, write out its definition, and then add two more definitions of your own. Then read the three possible definitions out to the group – or get your neighbour to do so if you have a bad poker face. The others must each guess which is the true definition.
4. Name In The Hat Game - Give everyone 4 or 5 slips of paper and get them to write down one person – real or fictional – on each. Fold the pieces of paper and put them all in a hat. Split into teams of four to five. One person from team 1 kicks off by grabbing a slip from the hat. She can use as many words as she likes to describe the name on the slip; her teammates must correctly guess who she is talking about. The team gets one point per correct guess in each round.
5. The Paperback Game - Get yourself a pile of paperbacks – romance, crime, and other genre novels make the best candidates. The first person picks one out and reads the blurb from the back of the book. The other players then have a go at writing the first sentence of the novel, while the first person writes out the real first sentence, and then reads them aloud to the group. They must all then decide for themselves which they think is the real first sentence.
I hope you will like to play the above games in your Literary theme kitty party!
