Mingle for Money

MAIN POINT: This is a getting to know you game. Relationships don’t go anywhere if you can’t even remember what people tell you! This game also begins like the game Dollar Surprise (Click Here).

Give 5-10 people increments of $1-3 each… secretly instruct them (like when everyone is arriving and just hanging out) to remember the 7th person they mingle with (small group: 4th person), but DO NOT give up their prize money…just keep on mingling.

Also, give them a question of the night to ask each person. Like, What is your favorite snack food for Super Bowl, who was the last person that made you laugh, how often do you brush your teeth, does your mom (or older sister) dye her hair, etc.

At the end of 2 minutes, the “holders” come up front. They each call their 7th person up with them. That person must recall the answer they were given by the prize holder. If they do, the money is given up to them. But WAIT! There’s ONE MORE step…the holder must also recall the answer from this 7th person. (You would think that would be easy…but not if you give PLENTY of time to mingle waaaay beyond the 7th acquaintance). Often times I get the money back because the “holder” couldn’t remember.

Option: If you don’t want to use money, use a can of pop or candy.
