Double Decker Prize Grab
 |
Summary: The Double Decker Prize Grab is a great game about getting and stealing prizes. Ages: From 10 to adult Recommended Number of Players: |
Equipment:
5 to 10 wrapped prizes, depends on amount of players
Two complete decks of playing cards
Set Up:

How to Play:
Have everyone sit in a circle. Pass the cards from the first deck out to everyone, giving
everyone one at a time until all the cards are gone – a few might get more
cards than others do. Now take the second deck of cards and call out each card
as you pull them from the deck. The person that holds the matching card from
the first deck of cards stand up and pick a prize, continue until all the
prizes are gone.
The real fun begins with the remaining cards of deck two! Everyone can now steal the prizes from each other. You can steal a prize from anyone else who holds a prize when a card you hold is called.
Winner:
When the complete second deck of cards has been called out, the people with the prizes keep them.

Best Advice from Dana Palmer
Many people come to this site looking for a couple specific games. When they find them, great, the job is done. But there is one thing I want ALL my guests to know regardless of how many or how few pages they read. Therefore, if you see this box again on a few more pages, skip it and move on to finding more games for your event.
But for those reading this for the first time, here is the best advice I can pass on from my many years of experience planning and executing large and small events. Read on…
“Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.” These are great words from A.A. Milne, the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh. I couldn’t agree more. And a solid foundation of organizing and planning is needed for most events. But I am here to tell you even with the BEST organization, no event is going to proceed EXACTLY as planned. You may even have a Plan B, C or D as a back-up. That’s fabulous! But trust me on this one; something will happen that you had no way of anticipating. So what now? Here is the trick. Pay close attention to this because it is the single most important piece of wisdom I can share with my readers.
Are you ready?
Learn to mentally let go of your perfect plans
the minute the party, event, game
or special occasion starts.
That’s it. I could write an entire page on how to “be in the moment” and “have fun at your own party.” But neither of those will happen if you don’t have the mindset that it’s alright to have things turn out differently than you imagined. The good news is that usually what you planned in your head that didn’t come through was never even missed by most.
So if you are going along, playing a game, or any other group activity, and it leads you down a road you didn’t foresee… Enjoy the ride.
