I played them at Christmas parties, but they would work great for any holiday or party.<\/p>\n<p>The first one is a taste testing game. Here&#8217;s how it works. You need a variety of sodas that are similar in color and taste. The game I played used 7 two liter bottles. What you do is pour each one into its own cup and write a number on it. Then you take and pour a little from each cup into each players cup one flavor at a time allowing them time to drink it and mark down on a piece of paper what flavor they think that it is. Here is the break down for the game I played:<\/p>\n<p>1. Sierra Mist<br \/>\n2. Squirt<br \/>\n3. 7up<br \/>\n4. Generic Brand Squirt<br \/>\n5. Generic Brand 7Up<br \/>\n6. Fresca<br \/>\n7. Sprite<\/p>\n<p>The next game is a point game that involves eating M&amp;Ms. Here is how it works. First you count out a certain amount of each colored M&amp;M and place them in a brown paper sack. There is a sack for each player. Then each player pulls an M&amp;M out of the sack without looking and shows it to the person keeping score. You keep doing this until the first person reaches the desired amount of points. The game I played the winning number was 500 and here is the count of each color along with its corresponding points:<\/p>\n<p>Blue \u2013 5 pts (8 M&amp;Ms)<br \/>\nGreen \u2013 10pts(7 M&amp;Ms)<br \/>\nOrange \u2013 25pts (6 M&amp;Ms)<br \/>\nRed \u2013 50pts (5 M&amp;Ms)<br \/>\nYellow \u2013 75pts (4 M&amp;Ms)<br \/>\nBrown \u2013 100pts (3 M&amp;Ms)<\/p>\n<p>The last game is one that I made for a Christmas party that we had, It&#8217;s Christmas Bingo.
