Homemade Bar Mitzvah Party Game

A Bar Mitzvah birthday celebration marks a life-changing time in the life of a young Jewish boy; and it’s a time that can be made all the more enjoyable with the addition of some homemade games. Make any Bar Mitzvah birthday one to remember with these festive party games.

Pass the Driedel can be a fun handmade game at any Bar Mitzvah birthday celebration; one which involves a classic—and very fun—symbol of the Jewish tradition. As part of this game, guests could stand in a circle and pass around an inflatable driedel; preferably a colorful one. As each person receives the driedel, he/she could state a flattering fact about the guest of honor (i.e., “He does so well in school,” “He always does charity work,” etc.); the guest whose comments make the honoree cry (in a good way) or blush wins. The winner will receive a beautiful hand carved driedel as a prize; other players will receive consolation gifts which include rich chocolate driedels, inflatable or lighted driedels, etc.

Then liven things up with another homemade game perfect for a Bar Mitzvah; one closely related to the first that is known as Catch the Driedel. In this game, guests can take turns throwing the hand sewn or inflatable driedel across the party area; the first guest to catch the driedel in each match will win a delicious chocolaty version of this same driedel.

Make any Bar Mitzvah more fun and memorable with the addition of some rollicking handmade party games. Mazel tov!
