Meta Title: Bonding Better With Friends and Loved Ones On Games
Meta Description: If you prefer to play games when with your friends, then it is vital you know the best games to play that can make the moment a worthwhile experience.
While many people see games as a way to feature competitive spirit, many others see it as a way to have fun. However, having fun in isolation is a good one, but why hog all of the fun? If you can share the happy feeling you derive from the game, why not look to share it with someone else, or better, a group of people?
Sharing is caring in the event that that adage might have skipped past you. After all, you do many other activities with them, so why not play games with them? Surely no negative opinion can come of it?
In this article, we will mention several fun games some of which you may find on this website and others elsewhere that you can play with your friends to help you bond better with them. Keep reading this article, as it might help you gain more friends in a short while.
Some Fun Games That Can Deepen Your Friendship Bonds
Here are some of the games you can play with friends to get closer to them:
Two Truths, One Lie
If you have watched a movie where this game was played, usually by adolescents, then you know how unpredictable the game can be. Between guessing wildly and nothing and finding out a totally new truth about one or all your friends, there is no limit to the fun and unpredictability this game is sure to bring. What’s fun about this game is that you think of which of the facts told as truth and which as a lie. Trust me, when played well, it could be an unforgettable and trusted memory.
Alternatively, you could also switch it to two lies and one truth. Any of these permutations will increase your friendship bond, that’s for sure.
The Alphabet Game
The Alphabet Game has so many variants that one wonders who invented it exactly.
Nevertheless, you can be sure you will have as much fun playing as you did choosing the variant to play with your friends. The first variant you should try is the one where a person picks a random letter from the alphabet and uses it to form a sentence that begins a story.
The next person picks it up and continues it with the next alphabet. This continues until someone uses the wrong alphabet or uses a storyline that does not go with the previous sentence. At this point, the person who defaults is taken out of the game, and the game resumes. The last standing is the winner.
Remember that the story continues, even after the person who starts a sentence with the last letter of the alphabet, Z.
20 Questions
20 Questions is another popular game played by all and sundry. It goes like this: the first person thinks of anything – animal, object, anything! After the person has informed every other person that they have an object in mind, people then begin to guess by narrowing it down with questions. Questions such as, “is it an animal?” “is it a kitchen utensil,” and “is it a car?” are all welcome, and this continues until one person can narrow it down to the answer.
However, the highest number of questions each person can ask is 20 questions, hence the name. While this sounds hard, you really cannot say until it is guessed. This gives an insight into how friends think and also shows you who is smart…and who is not. For smarter people or people who have been friends longer than most, the limit can be reduced.
Charades
Looking for a classic game to break the ice? Charades are the way to go. It is quite simple: divide everyone into teams and ask each team to offer one person to describe just about anything with only gestures. Yes, only gestures. The remaining members of the team have to guess what the person is trying to communicate, and there should be a limit to the time used to gesture or the number of guesses each person can give before calling the points.
Alternatively, it can be played with each person giving gestures and randomly guessing. You can also have the names of actors written on slips and given to each person and see how they describe your favorite actors. The first person to score a predetermined number of points wins. This game is sure to give you the best memories and keep you laughing about them for a long time.
Looking to increase competition? Make the time to act in just under a minute.
Conclusion
We all agree that nights out are always fun, but having a night in with friends and getting ready to play the games above is a good one. After all, everyone is looking to have some fun, and doing the same things can be quite boring. There are only so many games listed in this article, but there are many others that could be suggested. Monopoly and Jenga are honorable mentions, but they might be too popular, so why not go for something less popular and more fun?
