Put
each name of half of your guests on a separate slip of paper, and
put each slip of paper inside of its own balloon. (For example, if
you have 10 guests, put 5 names in 5 separate balloons). Throw all
of the balloons up into the air, and have each person (the 5 people
whose names are not in a balloon) take a balloon and pop it! They
must then walk around and find the person whose name they have, and
both people must introduce themselves to each other. Then after
chatting for a few moments, the person whose name was not in the
balloon must introduce their "balloon friend" to another person at
the party. Continue to introduce yourself and your "balloon friend"
to people until both of you have met everyone at the party.

~*Here's the Story to Read*~
"Once
upon a time, there was a charming young lady named BETTY (Pause
after each one) who was loved by a sailor called POPEYE. BETTY lived
near a great forest in
which
there roamed a big WOLF. One day BETTY decided to visit her
grandmother who lived in the heart of the forest where the WOLF
lived, but BETTY would not listen and would not let POPEYE accompany
her. Soon the WOLF followed BETTY, and he crept closer and closer.
But, behind him came POPEYE! Just as the WOLF was about to leap on
BETTY, POPEYE hit him with his trusty club and saved BETTY'S life.
This is the end of the story of POPEYE, BETTY BOOP and the Big Bad
WOLF."
Describe Me
What
is everyone's first impression of other partygoers? As guests
arrive, make sure that each person gets an index card taped to their
back as well as a pencil. Have your guests mingle, and meet each
other. As people get to know each other a little bit better, have
each guest write their first impressions of the people they meet on
the cards
on their backs. Make
sure to tell your guests to write funny things, but to stay away
from anything resembling rude or mean comments. Write things like
"quick wit," "bedroom eyes," "million dollar smile," "hot stepper,"
etc. After about 15-20 minutes, have each person read the card off
the adjacent person's back for a few laughs.
