Masquerade Games and Activities

RE: Masquerade Games and Activities Post By Shanna (Guest Post) (11/18/2008) Here are some ideas, my commitee came up with. We are doing this theme for a conference type of thing with our church and what we decided to do is have a big masquerade ball but instead of having people come in with masks we have hired a face painter to come in and paint masks on people. We also have hired fire breathers and cirque dancers to dance from the ceiling ( I know this doesn't make sense but like they dance on fabric that hangs from the ceiling). Anyway we have also put out a big trunk full of costumes and accessories like jousting equipment, tiaras, crowns, court jester hats and we put that by the photo area so that people can dress up and take pictures. I hope this helps you guys best of luck.

Well, after reading about all the masks ideas I think I came up with a game. You could call it, "Who's Eyes Are Those" You would have to guess who the person, famous celeb or person in your school. You have a large photo and have several cardboard masks over the persons face, you must have the same size masks but different size cutouts of the eyes layered on top of each other, start with the smallest which would be the most difficult them remove a layer to reveal a mask with larger cut outs of the eyes so one could see more and more of the face until they guess who the photo is. Let me know what you all think. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Masquerade Games and Activities Post By Heather H (Guest Post) (09/14/2008) I'm having my Sweet Sixteen as a masquerade. So I need things to do also that aren't lame. Is doing it as a ball a good idea?

But what would your ideas be if the Banquet was more "Formal". More so a ball not a prom?

I like the whole voting for the person with the best mask, and if u want u could have everyone keep their masks on till the end of the night. so its like surprise ! :) Idk though i am acutually class president for my school and we r working on prom too... and i know we dont usually have games and extra stuff like that do along with our theme... so maybe if u guys just decorate a lot it will be fine :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Masquerade Games and Activities Post By Emma (Guest Post) (03/02/2008) Maybe you could play a game like Blind Man's Bluff becasue masquerade is all to do with the eyes and thats a game to do with the eyes. Any other games to do with the eyes would be good too. I hope this helps.

I am also planning Prom and we picked the theme Masquerade too! For our prom I'm thinking of doing an auction to keep the grads active and having fun until dinner starts. I haven't fully worked it out yet, but somehow I will give each student chips or coins and have an auction where they can compete with their friends. We'll auction stuff like the movie "Phantom of the Opera" (totally LOVE that movie!!) a bouquet of roses, fancy gloves, CD of the soundtrack, etc. Anyway, that's what I came up with! Let me know what ya think and I hope it helps!

I've had those problems. The best game I can think of is to have the school vote for the main characters, and make up or buy a murder mystery game. It's simple, and cost affective. Hope this helps.

Thanx for the idea though. I might have to try that for my b-day party.

The best one is a "P" party as there are a lot of things you can dress up as. For my sister's 21st party (many years ago) we had such characters as: police pregnant woman - my brother asked me later if she had a boy or a girl - completely tricked patient - with bandages and all Pink Panther photographer painter postman Pebbles (Cartoon character - Flinstones) Playboy Playboy bunny Someone even came as a pot plant! It was a great night. Hope this helps. Linda from Down Under Report Spam or Abuse
