Today I have another game for your games collection: The “What’s On Your Phone” game.

This game is a variation of the “What’s In Your Handbag” game that I used to play. But over time I’ve noticed most people come to events or parties with just a phone, credit card and keys. What else does a girl need?

The best thing about this game is that you win too: you can make the most of this game by asking people to text you in a race or get them to join your customer group on Facebook!

How to play the “What’s On Your Phone” Game

As with all games, I have a little prize for the winner and often for the loser too (but I like to call it ‘winner in reverse’ to make it a little less harsh.)

All guests need to play is a smartphone, a piece of paper and a pen. I’ve created  a free downloadable scoring sheet that you can use in your parties (download below).

I play by reading out each item (eg. “If you have a selfie on your phone, give yourself 1 point”) and the guests keep track of their points on the piece of paper that you’ve handed them.

One of the ways that guests can get points is by a text race. Whoever texts you within 30 seconds gets 20 points. This way they’ll all have your phone number in their phone!

Encourage the guests to save the number with your company name first, followed by your first name in their contact list, that way they can find you easily even if they can’t remember your name!

Another way guests can get points is by liking your Facebook business page or join your VIP group. And this is how you win: these new customers now become part of your customer community and you can continue to build a relationship with them.

This game is fun to play in in-home parties, but you can easily adapt it for play in online parties too.

I love having access to a range of different games to play at my direct selling parties.

It’s important to keep things interesting and fresh for repeat guests. You don’t want people to feel like “I’ve seen one of her parties, I’ve seen them all…” because then they won’t feel like booking again with you in the future.

Besides, I don’t want to do the same thing all the time either! By varying the parties and games, I keep myself enthusiastic and passionate too.

How to Play the Points Game

The Points Game is easy to prepare for. All you need is some small pieces of paper and some pens. (In a pinch, you can use the back of your paper order forms. I had to do this once because I had forgotten to bring paper….). You’ll also need one or two small prizes.

To play all you need to do is read out the story (download the printable below) while the guests keep track of their points as you go.

The person who has the most points at the end wins a small prize. I usually also have a prize for the person with the least points . I call them the ‘winner in reverse’ rather than the ‘loser’, because it’s nicer (and I usually get a chuckle too).

I hope you have fun with this game at your parties. Let us know in the comments how you got on.

Oh. My. God. Chocolate Extravaganza is the best game for your direct sales business because it has a serious amount of chocolate and it’s a hostess coaching technique – all in one neat package!

This game can be used in any party plan or direct sales event that’s in-home, no matter what your products are.

It also lends itself to a chocolate theme for your party.

Hostess coaching with chocolate

Some hosts are a bit hesitant about reminding their guests of the upcoming direct sales party.

But by playing Chocolate Extravaganza it makes it fun for them to contact their guests as it adds a bit mystery to the call. And we all like a bit of mystery…

What you need

• Chocolate Extravaganza scoring sheet (download below)
• Optional: social media tile (download below) to advertise your new game online or to send to guests.

How to play

A day or two before the party, you contact your hostess and ask her to call her guests to ask them to bring a chocolate bar to the party. It doesn’t matter what kind.

For the mystery part: Don’t tell your host what you’re planning.

She will now contact her guests with the request, thereby reminding them of the party. She won’t know why you need the chocolates so that’s going to add a layer of mystery.

At the party, you will get everybody to bring out their chocolate bar and using the scoring sheet you allocate points for things like is it dark chocolate, does it have nuts, does it have caramel, etc.

At the end they count up the scores and the person with the highest score gets Chocolate Extravaganza as they get all the bars.
