If The Hat Fits:
This group game for adults will bring out the jolly hidden in all of us. Divide the players into teams of two. The game is pretty simple as the participants just need to pick a card from the ‘If the hat fits” deck of cards, which the hostess can print out. The first one will tell the participant what character they’ll enact. Then they need to pick another card from the ‘set the scene’ deck, which will tell them about the scene they’ll have to act. Here’s the fun part. The duo has to enact a scene by following the improvisation rule, ‘never say no’. Wait and watch as the scene takes hilarious twists and turns.

This classic game isn’t just funny, but also a crowd, please. The host has to write a pretty long story that must contain the words ‘left’ and ‘right’ many times. For instance:
