Handmade games for a 50th birthday party should be as special and memorable as the guest of honor. Save lighter games for the younger folk; this is a time to remember, to honor, and to celebrate.
As the 50th birthday marks a half century of living, one homemade game that could be enjoyed at a 50th birthday bash is the Tale Half Told game. In this activity, the first player starts off a story, then challenges the next partygoer to continue the tale. A group of four or five people could complete the story in round robin fashion; then the next group could come up with a Half Told Tale of their own. The host then could award prizes for the Most Original, the Most Dramatically Told, the Most Whimsical, the Funniest, and the Most Well Crafted stories, awarding prizes such as golden roses, faux gold jewelry, gold-hued candles, gold plastic coins, etc.
Indeed, as gold figures prominently into many 50th birthday or anniversary celebrations, another handmade game for this festivity could be the Go for the Gold scavenger hunt. Using hand drawn house maps that come complete with written clues, guests could hunt for some of the same prizes (such as gold-colored coins, faux gold rings, golden flowers, gold candles, etc.), keeping the goodies that they find. Just make sure that the hidden objects are plentiful, so that every player goes home with something.
Any 50th birthday party can be golden with the addition of some top notch homemade games.
