Free Themed Party Games for Birthdays, Holidays and Parties

Mardi Gras Party Games help to keep the party moving and give guests entertainment they can participate in. THE OLDEST COIN is a fun party game that will fit a Mardi Gras Theme Party. This game is to occupy a little pause; it's like an auction. Holding a Mardi Gras Party Gift in your hand announce, "This Mardi Gras gift is for sale." It costs one coin of the earliest year. Have you got any?" The players give coins. Keep track of who gave you which coin. Look at them attentively and say, "I'm given a coin issued in the year of _____. You now get another coin and say, "I'm given a coin issued in the year of ____. I return the first coin. Our auction goes on. Who has the coin of the earliest issue?" Continue the auction until you're given the oldest coin. Every time you get a coin say, "going once, going twice,…" When you say "three" the auction stops and the Mardi Gras gift is given to the player who has the oldest coin. Mardi Gras Beads are also fun to give to guests randomly throughout the party.
