Hi, here's a copy of a wish list I put together for my PP Recruit. She's used this quite a few times and said it works really well. The guests get really competitive and start laughing. It encourages everyone to fill out all of their wish list - so she has more details for her Leads book later.
Wish List is just as per normal - with the 4 columns, Product Name, Page No., Price, WANT and lots of rows below so they can fill out lots!
then below the wish list table I just have this....
YES / NO I wish to book my own Saucy Fish Jewellery demonstration
YES / NO I would like information on joining the Saucy Fish Jewellery team
YES / NO I would like to receive updates on new releases and promotions
Please hand this list to your Saucy Fish Consultant at the end of the demonstration. Thank you and we hope you have a great party with Saucy Fish.
DID YOU NEARLY FILL YOUR WISH LIST? OR MAYBE YOU DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR ALL YOUR WISHES! Please ask about hosting your own Jewellery demonstration. Here is an example of what you would receive as a Hostess. $50 of free items for party sales above $300 (this $50 increases as your sales do). PLUS an additional $25 of free items for each booking taken at your party, PLUS any item in the catalogue for ½ price. An easy way to make your wishes come true!
HOW TO TURN IT INTO A GAME?
Basically, you just ask everyone to fill out their wish lists as you go through your demonstration or as they browse through the catalogue. If they see something they like, you ask them to put it on their form.
Tell all of the guests that at the end of the demonstration you will be playing a game with the completed forms – including giving away a free prize to the winner.
Then at the end of your demonstration – or after everyone has had time to look through the catalogue play a simple points game. Everyone tallys up their own points and the one with the most points wins!
Example
1 point given if they filled out their name
1 point given if they filled out their address
1 point given if they filled out their email address
1 point given if they filled out their phone number
5 points for every necklace they placed on their wish list
5 points for every set of earrings they placed on their wish list
10 points for every ring on their wish list
10 points for every different type of cosmetics placed on their wish list
15 points for every "Necklace / Earrings" set they placed on their wish list
20 points for something listed on Page 11
20 points for filling out every line of their wish list
50 points if they circled YES they would like to host their own Saucy Fish demonstration
100 points if they circled YES if they would like to find out more about becoming a Saucy Fish Consultant
I think you will find this really works well and it will give you a good idea of what items are popular, so if at a later stage it goes on special, or it is being discontinued you can let that customer know and get some extra sales.
If you decide to give this a go - Good Luck & let me know how you went; Kath

This is a good concept Kath. It can also be easily adapted to almost any party plan (quite a few companies have wish lists...but they don't turn it into a game!)
SaucyKath replied:
I must be the only game lover!????? I thought everyone would be filled with great ideas of "ice-breaking" games to play at our demonstrations. Even if its a game you've known for years - and you think its a bit tired out - I'd still love to hear it! Everything can always be adapted to suit our different PP companies and to make it fresh and new!!!
C'mon partyplans members - assure me I'm not the only game lover around here

Michelles replied:
Okay Kath - you have convinced me to put it out there.
YES - I am a BIG BIG BIG believer in games as it helps relax the group and the pp. And we always provide pp's free of charge prizes for each party because games are a huge part of our parties.
Well we are "Something Naughty Parties" and we are Adult novelty and lingerie so we do get a bit naughty - but will keep it "straight" for here!!!! ha ha ha
NAUGHTY NAMES - This is an introduction game. Each lady goes around the room introducing herself with her name and then says something she likes to do that is naughty. EG: My name is Kathy and I like to kiss. You could always adjust the subject to do with what you are selling.
BURST THE BALLOON - simple game with joke in the balloon but oh soooo funny. Again can be played at any party. But of course we add little "naughty" twists to the game.
I have others but couldn't post here!!!
Check out our home page for the balloon photos and you will see what I mean http://www.somethingnaughty.com.au/home.html
I am a big believer in games because it makes the ladies feel like they had some entertainment and are more inclined to book again.
So come on ladies, I would love to hear what other games you all play or how you get ladies to interact.

TOILET PAPER GAME
Purpose : It gets hostesses to make reminder calls to her guests. This increases attendance by reminding the guests and getting them to come because they’re curious what the toilet paper is for. Also, it loosens up your guests and gets them laughing and having fun.
SUPPLIES : A large bag, the list of points to be awarded, a sheet of paper and a pen for each guest, and an extra roll of toilet paper so you can give some to those guests who forgot.
PREPARATION : Call your hostess a few days before the party and ask her to call her guests a day or two before the party to remind them about it. Have your hostess ask each guest to bring some toilet paper. Tell them it doesn’t matter how much they bring.
TO PLAY : Ask your guests to get out their toilet paper, pen and paper. Ask them to keep track of their points and whoever has the most points at the end, will win a prize. Read the points list as follows:
Brought 10 sheets or less : ………………………………….+10 points
Brought more than 10 sheets, but not a roll : ……………….+20 points
Brought a roll : ………………………………………………+30 points
Individually wrapped roll : ………………………………….+25 points
Brought a 4Pack : ……………………………………………+50 Points
1-Ply Toilet Paper :…………………………………………..+15 Points
2-Ply Toilet Paper : ………………………………………….+30 Points
3-Ply Toilet Paper : ………………………………………….+45 Points
White Toilet Paper :………………………………………….+50 Points
Coloured Toilet Paper :………………………………………+25 Points
Design / Flowers :……………………………………………+35 Points
Store Brand / Generic : :…………………………………..…+15 Points
Name Brand : ……………………………………………..…+50 Points
At this point, ask if they hang their Toilet Paper over or under.
Roll Over :…………………………………………………….+25 Points
Roll Under :……………………………………………………+50 Points
Borrowed Toilet Paper to play game :…………..SUBTRACT 30 Points
Pull out the bag; offer 100 points if they will give you their Toilet Paper.
After you collect it all, offer 150 Points to those who kept theirs.
Person with the most points wins the prize (The bag of toilet paper)!!!
The Backwards Game
This is a fantastic game to play.
For this game the guests need a pen and paper.
Get the guests to write down their answers.
Keeping in mind that these are the answers to questions that you have not asked them yet.
Ok the first lot of things to read to the guests are....
1. Yes or Maybe
2. A favourite male/female person - a TV star etc.
3. A number
4. Another number
5. A colour
6. Another colour
7. A shape
8. A vegetable
9. A place
10. A favourite piece of furniture
11. A country or state
12. A number
Now read 1 question at a time and let each guest give their answer to that question from thier written down anwers.
1. Do you have an admirer?
2. Who is he/she?
3. How old is he/she?
4. How old does he/she think you are?
5. What colour are their eyes?
6. What colour is their hair?
7. What's the shape of their head?
8. When you look at their nose, what does it remind you of?
9. Where is your secret meeting place?
10. Where do you entertain them?
11. Where do you plan to run off to?
12. How many children do you have?
You should get a lot of laughs from this game.
