Party games for the office Christmas lunch

We've got our office Christmas lunch next week and I've been tasked with organising some games to play between courses. Any ideas?

Hi, Don Twain here.

Last year we dressed up and played human chess – quick-fire style. Now, I know that doesn't sound that much fun, but it was a real hoot.

I, rather unfortunately, was on antibiotics at the time so I couldn't drink. My favourite game of all was watching my colleagues get progressively more drunk and coming out of there shells. We've got some real live wires in the office.

Cheers,
Don

You could organise a secret santa? Or a stealing santa (where everyone has to buy a gift, but they don't know who it's for, say £10. Each person then draws a number out of a hat, which determines the order in which they can pick a gift from the central pile. The first person picks a gift and opens it. The second person can decide whether to steal the first person's gift or open a new gift from the pile (they must make this decision before opening the new gift). If they do steal the unopened gift is given to the person that's just had their gift stolen. And so on. Obviously the further you go on the more fun it gets as you can chose to steal anybody else's gift.
Or you could play the After Eight game (unless it's a super formal restaurant!). Place an After Eight mint on each person's forehead. They must get it into their mouth without using their hands – basically by scrunching and twisting their face.

Our Christmas party organisers always come up with a clever idea relating to people in the office. So one year it was guess the lookalike, another year you had to submit a secret skill or fact about yourself a week before the party, then people had to guess who it was referring to. A print out of baby photos is another good guessing game. Visual aids help with these sorts of things, so a screen is very useful, but good photocopies can also work…

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys! We played that secret santa game and it was so much fun!
