Diwali is one of the most celebrated festivals in India. It brings a lot of lights, gifts, prayers, sweets and laughter. And not to forget, Diwali decoration, dance, drinks and most importantly, games. Yes, Diwali games add that extra element of fun to your Diwali party. And as we talk about Diwali games, there are plenty you can choose from, to make your party thrilling and full of fun.
Diwali family games can never miss out on rangoli competitions. Take part in this fun activity and get goodies on winning. All you have to do is make a rangoli with colours or flower petals. And yes, set a time limit to make the competition more fun! The key is to get it done early!
This game is more fun if you are bad at drawing! Because it will be funnier! Pictionary is among the most unique Diwali games that’ll help you bring out the creativity in you. This game is where you draw what your card says. Does it say cheesy moments? Then, go draw a cube of cheese and let your visitors guess from your sketch. Also, make sure your best friend or your favourite cousin are in your team. After all, they can understand even the strangest of your drawings! Remember to get a drawing board beforehand so that you and guests can play pictionary! If you don’t have one, go online and buy one.
Heard about this game before? We are sure you have. In case you are wondering how to go about playing this game, start making some statements and let the players say whether they have done that thing or not. And if you want, you can buy the ‘Never have I ever’ set online and have more of those fun and embarrassing questions to spice up your Diwali party.
Next on our list of best Diwali party games is Trivial Pursuit. In this trivia game, you will have to move your piece on the board and answer questions on different subjects. More than winning, people bombarding the questions makes the game exciting. Make it more fun by selecting a particular theme. If you and your friends are FRIENDS fans, get a FRIENDS themed trivia and invite all your friends over for the party.
Classics are classics, aren't they? Well, the game of musical chairs has forever been one of the best Diwali fun games and we believe it will remain so. All you need to do is place a few chairs in a circle. Remember, there must be one less chair than the number of participants. Start playing and knock the one out who fails to grab a seat when the music stops. Keep doing this unless you have a winner. Arrange gifts for the winner to make the game more competitive!
Diwali games at home are incomplete without the tongue twister challenge. This game will give you sure-shot, belly-aching laughter like none other. You just need to write down some tongue-twister phrases on chits. Come up with innovative tongue twisters or buy the latest tongue twister book online - your choice! Now allow your guests to pick a chit. Now comes the most fun part! The players need to say whatever is written on the chit again and again without breaks. If they fail, a nasty dare awaits!
Sit in a circle with your gang. Now let each player give two truths and one false statement. Now, the rest of the gang try and guess which is the truth and which is the lie! You can reveal your deep secrets. But we say, confuse them and make simple statements. Like your favourite colour or favourite ice cream. Because it is the simple things that we often find hard to remember! This happy Diwali game will surely add a spark to the party.
A game to test how much you know your friends! All you gotta do is speak out most likely statements like ‘most likely to fall over a banana’ and let others decide who is more likely to do that thing. Pro tip: Don't ask mundane questions. Ask funny ones and let everyone have a fun time!
Games and dance together? A hell yes! If you are someone who loves dancing, just like we do, freeze dance is what you should take part in. Let’s be honest! A party without music and dance is incomplete. Combine these with some amazing games and you get uninterrupted fun for hours. Just one rule you have to follow, freeze immediately when the music stops. If you continue to groove even after the music stops, you are out. Stay still until the music plays again and repeat the drill!
We are making a list of the best Diwali games and don’t mention Diwali activities for kids, not possible! Blow off the candle is one of the most popular Diwali games for kids. Well, adults can also play. Only a bit of pre-preparation is all you need. Get some candles, light them up and place them on the table. Now blindfold the participant and get them near the table. Now they just have to blow all the candles on the table. The fun part is watching them blow the candles where they never have been. A suggestion, record while they do it and play after the activity is done and have a good laugh!
So now you know how to dazzle up your Diwali. Just get all your preparations right and get ready to laugh your heart out!
